New Objectives

Before the Interview

- ensure questions are understandable and open ended
- practice the questions/memorize so I do not have to read them off
- schedule interview in a quiet and comfortable environment
- prepare recorder/practice with it to become familiar
- make copy of questions to give to the other student

During

- get to know them before questions start
- take notes on what they say
- leave enough time for them to answer the questions
- do not rush
- allow them to ask me questions also
- keep environment casual/not stressful
- thank them

After
- write down as much as I can remember above the interview to jog my memory later
- transcribe interviews that are the best of three
- write paper
- thank student again via email or call

  16. I like the idea of small talk before you get to your questions. Be sure to let the tape run all the time, though. (After asking ahead of time whether it is ok to do) Good luck with your three interviews off campus.
    cheers
