I think this is where I post this....
Alright guys, I need some help here. I'm doing a report which basically requires me to interview someone about their job, but I've been having trouble finding people off-line to help me out, and with the deadline mere hours away, online is my last hope T.T
Note: You don't have to be currently employed to answer this. If you had a past job and are able to answer these question, that'll be a-okay ^^
***
Your Job Title
Basically what your position is referred to.
Department
If applicable, which part of an organization you work for (sales, advertising, etc).
Description of Organization
You don't have to tell me the name of the place you work at, but please describe what it is (like "a large grocery chain" or something).
Key Tasks
Basically what are your duties you're expected to do on a regular basis. So if you're a cashier at a grocery store, you'd have to be at the register, bag groceries, count money and such.
Critical Tasks
lol, yeah, I dunno get why it's called critical tasks myself, but similar to key tasks, describe infrequent duties that is understood you're expected to perform. Again, with the grocery cashier, something they do would be to collect all the items customers decide to leave out at the last minute.
Problems You Face
Please list whatever common problems or difficulties you've had at work, and how you deal with them, or were even able to solve them.
Work Environment
Basically tell me what your work area is like. Do you sit at a cluttered desk in a small cubicle, or is it open office with lots of chatter form other employees? Do you work at various sites through out a city? Indoors, outdoors? And so on.
Learning/Training Methods
Do you have a preference with how you would be taught? Do you need someone to show every step of a process? Could they just describe your tasks and you can figure out the rest? Do you prefer to be hands on right away while they describe what you should do?
And if you need to be taught a new tool or method, what's the best way to go about it?

Thanks guys! ^^

But the president moved into the big office downstairs. The building we're in looks like a 3 story house, basically. And we're in a commercial area, but there isn't really too much traffic, it's sort of suburban.
