Some Interviewing Tips: 1. Identify yourself and make sure the person you are interviewing is at ease and comfortable. 2. The respondent’s reaction often mirrors that of the interviewer. The respondent will know if you are not comfortable. Your pleasant, positive, well-informed approach will be reflected in the interviewees readiness to respond. 3. If you want more detailed responses to your questions, reinforce those kinds of answers—say, “Yes,” “Okay,” or “I see,” or nod. Do not use the same reinforces for unresponsive answers, using same reinforces for unresponsive answers gives the wrong signal. 4. To teach and motivate the respondent, use feedback expressions like these: “Thanks, this is the sort of information we’re looking for in this research.” “it’s important to us to get this information.” “These details are helpful.” “It’s useful to get your ideas (your opinion) on this.” “I see; that’s useful information.” “Let me get that down.” 5. Often repeat the question or give a pause –maybe an expectant look or nod of the head, if possible- repeat, summarize, or reflect the feeling tone of the reply. Say: “Anything else?” “How do you mean?” “Could you be more specific about it?” “I’m not sure I know what you mean by that (bewildered look).” “Could you tell me a little more specific?” However, u should not overuse these, or the respondent will think you cannot recognize a valid answer. 6. Where examining recall, use probes that give memory cues of items likely to be
4) Q: Preslee is communicating much better nonverbally in the past two months, making gestures to indicate what she wants. A: You respond by giving Preslee what she wants or pointing to the item and saying what it is, even if you don't think Preslee knows the name of the item yet.
Use the appropriate language and vocabulary for the person you are talking to and ask open questions.
Whilst listening make sure that you have eye contact and use different expressive words to show your interest.
It is important to respond to a person’s reactions when communicating so they know you are listening to them and to provide the correct response. It can help to empathise with a person and share understanding. To respond may help avoid a person becoming frustrated and upset. Good eye contact cannot be underestimated as you can get a true idea of a person’s feelings.
Give them your full attention, by making eye contact you are showing you are actively listening and are interested in what they are saying. Sometimes this may mean you need to find a quiet space with no distractions.
Active listening do their response make sense or do you need to ask questions to clarify. Sometimes when it’s appropriate, you may re-phrase what they've said and repeat it back to them.
This can lead to: lack of concentration, interview lasting longer or be terminated, which can result in unreliable answers. To possibly avoid these I could: go in a quiet room, allow extra time and avoid sensitive questions. I will be doing interviews with teachers that teach visually impaired children rather than the child because the child may feel uncomfortable talking one-to-one with an unknown adult and yet I can still get the answers needed through the
It is important to respond to an individual’s reactions when communicating so that they are aware that you are listening. Responding using body language will also tell them if you are interested or not. For example if someone is telling you what they for Christmas last year and you huff and puff and role your eyes this would show that you are not really interested in what the person is saying.
Tell them that you’re serious and tell them please listen closely because it’s important. Get to a point on what you’re saying, and make it interesting.
When receiving negative feedback, avoid defensive reactions. Listen without interruption; however, clarify any misunderstandings. Ask questions to clarify what you did or did not do, ensure you heard correctly. Before taking action, ask for time to think and digest,

Situational Interview Questions: These inquiries will gauge how a man would respond to genuine circumstances and give their conclusions. This sort of addressing is endeavoring to make the hopeful feel similar feelings that the meeting is attempting to introduce.
I do not want to be stumbling over my words or losing eye contact. Nor do I want to be the crazy person that stares in to their soul. I was also able to see how I was sitting in the mock interview. I was position like a dinosaur. That is not how I want to be sitting up during the interview. I need to be confident but relaxed at the same time.
