Solution
| Format - Structure | Interviews should follow a logical flow: Introduction (setting the stage), Body (the core questions/topic), and Conclusion (summary and a thank-you note). |
| Size/Length - How much | Keep it concise to respect the interviewee’s time. A standard school-level interview should last 10-15 minutes or 8-10 high-impact questions. |
| Do’s and Dont’s - Rules and Regulations | Do: Research your guest, listen actively, and dress formally. Don’t: Interrupt the speaker, ask overly personal/offensive questions, or talk more than the interviewee. |
| Type of Questions - Yes/No questions or Wh Type. | Wh-type (Recommended): Use ‘What,’ ‘How,’ ‘Why,’ and ‘When’ to encourage detailed, insightful answers. Yes/No (Avoid): These usually kill the conversation; use them only to confirm facts. |
