Conducting an Interview

Tips

In Person

Observe Everything

Best method over email or text. Better interview.

Pay attention to the room/office. Awards? Pictures?

Take Notes

Make a record of the interview. Write answers next to planned questions. Shorthand is good.

Star or check something important when it is said.

Put quotes around what I think might be a good quote to use later.

Summarize, don't try to write everything down.

Follow the Right Path

Don't get so caught up on preset questions that you miss a bigger more interesting story. Go back to pre-planned questions later if needed.
