This week we had a guest lecturer who gave us a one hour crash course in interview skills, as our next assignment is to cut together an interview that we will conduct over the next week or two.
The different aspects of interviewing were cut into the Who, What, When, Where and Why questions we need to ask ourselves in order to give a proper interview. Namely, who are you interviewing, What is your interview about (the subjects history, their profession, their interests etc etc), How to actually conduct ourselves when we are in the interview and Why we chose to do an interview with this person/why we chose the questions we did etc.
As of right now, I’m not entirely sure who I’m going to interview, though I have a few ideas of what direction I might take the assignment. One is to try and interview some form of sports writer, and try to cut together a classic “quick fire round” of questions hitting a few broad topics in their sport of expertise.
Another idea could be to interview my housemate, as he ran in the last federal election. Though Im not entirely convinced I’d like to go the political route on this task.
