The stages of Interviewing

Stage 1

In stage 1 you need to determine what the topic of your interview is going to be and thinking about the questions you are going to ask.

Stage 2

In stage 2 you need to research into the topic that you have chosen to do an interview on and then you need to write out the questions that you have concluded form your research.

Stage 3

In stage 3 you need to select who you are going to interview and make sure you have contacted them so that you are able to interview them. You also need to do research into the interviewees as you need to have a good reason to interview them.

Stage 4

Stage 4 is where you structure your interview and you do this by putting all questions in order by following the rules of confidence building and key questions and a wind up at the end.

Stage 5

Stage 5 is when you conduct the interview therefore you go and do the interview and record it.

People use this structure for many reasons the main one being is that by using this structure it will appeal to the audience watching the interview and it will make sense and be interesting. Also another reason why this is a good structure as it is the best way to get the answers you want out of the interviewee as you relax them first and then go into the questions so it is also a way of making the interviewee comfortable and getting the best possible answers out of them.
