  1. Interviewing Guide

  2. Strategic Planning • Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy.

  3. What are you going to ask? • Who, What, Where, When, Why and How • Do research before you interview • Feel comfortable in what you are asking • Have someone review and discuss your questions

  4. Types of Questions • Close ended questions vs open ended questions • Leading questions • Multiple questions to approach one answer • Do not stick to the order you wrote your questions in • Create a shorter question sheet • Conduct practice interviews to see how long they will take

  5. Preparation • Gather as much information about the individual as possible • Google your teacher before you meet with them • Learn of other people to interview • External vs internal interviews

  6. Observations • Listen • Look for body language • Compare interviews • Be cognizant of time “interviewers talk 20 percent of the time during the interview, and listen 80%”

  7. Take Notes • Record conversation • Bring more than one person • Type up your notes the same day you conducted the interview

  8. Conducting an Interview • We mostly see interviewing on TV • Use different techniques for different interviews (this is not a survey but an interview) • It is a conversation- you can only interview as good as you can converse • Focus groups- good for tough issues

  9. Tips for interviewing • Probe- follow up questions • Don’t use too large of words • “Play Dumb” • “You know what I mean”- don’t allow that • Take note if you think they are lying

  10. Tips Continued • Don’t talk too much • Do not fill silences (wait five seconds) • Shy people fill with positive statements • Outspoken over prepared people tend to fill it with negative statements • Do not disagree with the person you are interviewing • It is okay if you don’t answer all of your questions

  11. Problems I have Interviewing • I get nervous that I will influence the conversation • Teachers talked too much about state mandates, not skills they teach • Interview took too long • I had to constantly cut her off, no room for pauses

  12. Listen to your interview Practice, Practice, Practice
