Two days ago I interviewed a couple who host children in need through a local social services agency I'm creating videos for. The wife was highly introverted, and there was at least once during the interview that it careened in a dangerously dull direction because of a misplaced question I had asked. These are both common struggles for interviewers!
And so, in this episode I give at least one solution to each of these questions:
- How do I engage a very introverted interviewee?
- How do I get an interview back on track from going in a dull or uninteresting direction?
I used both of the techniques I talk about in this interview, and the interview ended up turning out extremely well!
