Viewing an Interview… During an interview, you never know what your interviewee will say. You may have carefully planned questions only to find that the interviewee wants to talk about something different altogether.

That’s why it is important to ask good follow-up questions. .

Follow-up Questions Follow up on something the interviewee has said. For example: Q: What was the best thing that happened to you in high school? A: I guess that would be when my boyfriend broke up with me at the prom. Follow-up Q: That doesn’t sound like a very good thing. Why was it the best thing that happened to you?

Follow-up Question Examples Why do you think that? That sounds interesting. Could you tell me more about it? What happened next? How has that influenced your life?
