Hi there! First, I am so excited you want to nominate someone to be my next interview for Females of Filadelphia. Read below to learn more!
Who should be nominated? What type of person gets an interview?
That’s a great question! I am not looking for only ONE type of person. In fact, I want to hear unique perspectives from everyone who gets interviewed. But there are some things all nominees or interviewees should have:
- Philadelphia Resident
- Okay so this one is a bit tricky. For post-grad life spotlights the nominee just needs to have gone to college in Philadelphia. However, for interviews, the person can go to college in Philadelphia, live in Philadelphia or be originally from Philadelphia. Philadelphia suburbs also count, in certain circumstances. These guidelines allow me some flexibility when choosing someone to interview. Exceptions may be made.
- A story
- I wish I could interview every single woman because everyone could contribute something wonderful; however, to maintain the authenticity of the blog there should be some sort of journey or path; this journey can be academic, career-oriented or about self-love/healing. To get a better idea of what sorts of stories I look for, read the blogs here:
- Determination
- Interviewing is a difficult process since it involves time commitment on both ends. It takes me anywhere from 1.5-4 hours to put a blog together (even if it doesn’t seem that way). Whether I ask you to fill out a Google Form or we decide to meet up over coffee, you (or the interviewee) need to commit some time to the process.
- Honesty
- I love a good story, but a good story that is not true is not what I look for at Females of Filadelphia. I do some research before choosing who to interview (unless I know the interviewee’s success personally), and if there is any dishonesty, I hold the right to remove parts (or all) of the blog.
My nominee (or myself) has all of these things, where do I go to nominate?
Yay! That’s great! There are a few ways to nominate someone:
- Go to the Contact page on this blog, and send me a message including:
