People feel more relaxed when they don’t feel like they’re on the spot, so to speak. She was asking me if I had any tips on how to be a successful interviewer. I know many of us tend to interrupt too much, and that’s a pitfall of what we do. You may get questions on the fly that will turn out far better than whatever you had planned to ask. I don’t think I’m the world’s worst interviewer, but I’m always picking up new tips and tricks. The bottom line is, you’re trying to capture a moment in time. I make a horrible interview. Interviewers should do more listening than talking. Be comfortable with what you’re doing. Be very cognizant that the more conversational you make the interview, the better. I get asked frequently to be interviewed. That’s just what I do. Listen more to what the person is saying. Being an excellent listener is key to leading a good interviewer. Methods?

Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum? Some people, you may have to lead. I think discussions are more interesting for others to listen to, the whole ebb and flow of conversation. I’m just a Geek… I’m just Chris. If you’re comfortable with your style and yourself, the person you are interviewing will be more comfortable, as well. I’d much rather be part of a discussion, instead of a one-way conversation. I never stay on topic for long, so I hate giving them. That’s why I feel so strongly about trying to have an open discussion, rather than sticking hard and fast to a set question list. You may have a list of questions in your head or on paper. It’s not what I enjoy most about producing content, though. Be prepared, but not overly so. If you look back in my archives, you’ll see a lot of my early stuff was all interviews, done strictly in audio format. Some people are more open, while others are closed up.

I enjoy interviewing people. My ’style’ when it comes to interacting with others is very casual. I’m a talker.

Every interview will be different. I like talking to people… that’s what I think makes a great interviewer. F. I’m not some succesful anything. I’d rather have an open discussion.

It all boils down to finding your own style and making it work for you.

I got an email from Libby, who recently landed a new job as an Interviewer. It’s just more dynamic this way, more interesting to anyone who may be watching/listening/reading.

When I’m interviewing someone, I’m doing it for myself, as well as my audience. Most importantly… have fun!
