Essential Interview Tips for Engaging Conversations

Conducting interviews can be a rewarding experience, but it requires careful preparation. Start by researching your guest's background and the subject matter to formulate insightful questions. Prepare a structured script for introductions, conclusions, and your questions, but be flexible in your approach. Active listening is crucial - often the best follow-up questions arise from your guest's responses. Keep your inquiries clear and concise, and ensure your guest feels comfortable. Remember, the focus should always be on them, not you, while getting straight to the main points.
