Tips for Conducting a Great Q&A

An interview should feel like a structured conversation, not an interrogation. Keep these rules in mind:

  • Rapport First: Use the warm-up questions to establish a connection before asking difficult questions.
  • Follow the Hook: Listen closely. If the subject mentions an unprompted detail, ask follow-up questions to explore it further.
  • Confirm Names: Always check the spelling of their name and official title before you start.
