Objective:
When I am interviewing, there are a
things that I need to accomplish. First, I am trying to establish a connection
with the person being interviewed. This will make the transfer of information
much more natural and, if they trust you, more truthful. I want to achieve an
in depth understanding of what makes that person who they are today. An
accurate recording of this information will help me to transcribe it more
accurately. In a sense, I am trying to put myself in his or her shoes in an
effort to make it easier to get across who this person is. All while I am
extracting this information from the interviewee, I need to make sure they are
comfortable and feel welcome. To do this, I need to make sure to ask questions
in a friendly manner and not be too persistent. I want to uncover a secret or
two that he or she would not normally talk about when meeting someone for the
first time. The whole purpose is to have a better understanding of the person
and where they are from.
