Interviewing To The Extreme

There is so much more to interviewing than just writing down what someone says. You need to be able to read their facial expressions and know exactly what they're getting at. Keeping an open mind is very important because without one you're creating a biased story. Leaving an important part of an interview out because of bias can create a problem. There are also two important types of questions that need to be asked. The first is an open question which can branch off into many different ways. An open question is something that the interviewee has to explain and usually in detail. On the otherhand, a closed question is one that has a set answer to it. Essentially it is a yes or no question that won't get you far, but it will still answer what you need to know.

Also it's not always about a good question, it's really about a good answer. An interview is only as good as the answers you receive from them. It's also important to look interested in the interview. If the person you're interviewing notices that you're not taking it seriously, neither will he or she. It's interesting just how important what you do during an interview is. From a distance it seems that just making some random questions is good, but in reality it takes so much more, such as strong answers and good awareness.
