INTERVIEW GUIDE
Before conducting any interview, it is necessary
select
the theme;
the objectives of the interview;
the person to be interviewed.
To facilitate the conduct of the interview, a script should be created that
respeite alguns procedimentos:
develop questions according to the theme, the objectives of
interview, the expectations of the interviewer and of potential
readers/listeners;
build varied questions (more open - What do you think of…? ; or
but closed - Likes to...?), avoiding influencing the answers and
looking for alternatives for possible deviations from the topic;
tailor the questions to the interviewee (personality, age level,
socio-cultural level…) and to the situation (time and place);
select a clear, accessible, and rigorous vocabulary;
establish the number of questions and proceed with their ordering.
When typing the text cleanly, it is important to keep in mind:
the punctuation;
the spelling;
the graphic presentation.
Any interview should follow a logical scheme which is,
usually, the following:
Introduction - description of the interviewed character(s), indication of the
place and reason for the interview.
Questionnaire - (dialogue) questions according to the interview theme
(and answers given by the interviewee).
Conclusion - interviewer's opinion about the work or about the
interviewee's personality; gratitude.
