Conducting an interview is a great responsibility and challenge with lots of work. There are some aspects we should be paying attention to while in the interview seat. In a sequence, I have listed them as follows:
- The first challenge is to find students who are willing to give interviews. We should be convincing and modest at the same time while requesting them to give the interview.
- When they are ready, we should work out a date, time, and place suitable and convenient for the interviewees. The place of interview should be quiet like the library or a study room.
- Next, we should pay attention to what we are wearing. A semi-formal dress would work as it will give the interviewee a sense of professionalism.
- On the day of the interview, before starting the interview, we should make 2 copies of our questions and give one to interviewee and tell them to go through it so that they are mentally prepared. We should NOT read word for word though while asking questions.
- Another thing many of the interviewers don't pay attention to is their sitting positions. We should never spread our legs (THAT'S RUDE!) but cross it or just keep it straight.
- To make the interview more interactive, there should be a good response from the interviewer's side too like maintain a good body language which would make the interviewee feel comfortable.
- Never pause for more than a minute to ask questions as it ruins the interview environment.
- Don't hurry to jump into next questions. Interviewees might be lost for words.
- In addition, to avoid conflicts and arguments, we should avoid commenting as much as possible and affirm to their ideas instead as we are collecting their ideas not ours.
- Try not to make the interview longer than 1 hour. This would make the interviewee bored.
- At the end, thank them for their time and help, and also take their consent to publish their ideas in a written form as well as electronic forms (audios, videos, etc.).
