Six Ways to Ask Better Questions in Interviews
by Joe Bunting | 18 Comments
In an interview, you want to have a conversation, not an interrogation. A good interviewer makes their interviewee comfortable.
Going back to your list of questions all the time can rattle the person you’re interviewing. It also limits your story’s potential.
I love this story from Porter Anderson:
I interviewed Cokie Roberts (the Emmy-winning journalist) once for a magazine. I asked her about all the needlepoint she had in her office. She grabbed a piece she was working on, a duck, and worked on it as we chatted. We found out her favorite vacation spot wasn’t far from my home sea island off the South Carolina coast.
Your ability to be present, to keep your nose out of your notebook, will make your interviews shine with life.
To be more present, I always write out about a dozen questions before going into a face-to-face or phone interview. President Eisenhower said, “In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.”
Your questions are your battle plans. You might not use them, but they prepare your mind for the task ahead.
