Interview Techniques
Do your research before your interview so you are properly prepared with proper questions
Ask open questions so you don’t get ‘Yes/No’ answers
A good way is to say ‘Tell me about…’
Try to keep it conversational where possible as relaxed interviewees tend to give better answers
Don’t interrupt too much, give the person your interviewing a proper chance to speak
Record the interview and take notes so you can quote it correctly later
