Interviewing Tips

RESEARCH Obtain background information about the subject, source or topic before interviewing Ask informed questions.

ASK SIMPLE QUESTIONS Keep your questions short, to the point and focused. Avoid distracting or confusing your subject, or allowing him or her to answer only part of a complex question. Break down complicated questions into shorter, simpler questions.

QUESTIONS Limit closed-ended questions; use mostly open-ended questions. Open-ended questions often begin with “Why?” and “How?” or phrases such as “Tell me about” or “How does that make you feel?” Invite longer, more insightful responses.

FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS Don’t stick to the script; listen to the answers and probe further before moving on to your prepared questions. Often it is during a follow-up question that the right quote falls into your lap. Following up can also involve a non-question, like a sympathetic response or a gesture of surprise or admiration.

TAKE NOTES Record quotes, statistics or facts in a notebook; use audio recorder. Record physical details about your environment and your subject such as appearance, facial expressions and voice. Be sure to look up from your notebook and maintain eye contact.

BE CONVERSATIONAL Keep the interview informal and casual; allow your subject to switch directions. Steer interview back to your topic as needed.
