Discussion question response 5
I haven’t conducted many interviews, nevertheless the three interviews that I have done have taught me a lot. For example, always record the interview on a tape recorder. You will always need to revisit the actual interview. Fortunately for me I was able to “redo” the interview. One thing that I would like to improve would be on the questions that I make. I want the questions to “pull” as much information out as it of the person as possible. Make the “interviewed” give up info. One thing that surprised me the most though is the fact that an interview is nothing like a conversation at all. It is completely different.

tharma or fish,
ReplyDeletethat is a great way tip that you have given me. to use a tape recorder to record the interview is a great way to revise it. i would have never thought about it, well maybe, just wouldnt make the effort too. but yes, the part where you say, "I want the questions to “pull” as much information out as it of the person as possible. Make the “interviewed” give up info." is great. as interviewing goes, its best to gain as much information about them as possible. also, i agree with you that interviews are nothing like a conversations at all.
