                                  Inerviewing Steps put in Malori's own Words
Step 1


We decide what type of interview we'd like to do. The most traditional are face-to-face. Face to face gives you an chance to look at the person and see the look on their face when they're telling you their stories.


Step 2

Set up a meeting place and time to fit the subject's needs. It makes the subject more comfortableto know that you care about their needs.



Step 3

Bring a recorder, notebook, and pen. Turn the recorder on , but write down in the notebook key things that the subject said. You can also write down the time certain things the subject said by watching the timer on your recorder.



Step 4

Start a conversation with your subject, not an interview. Have a conversation with your subject because you want them to be comfortable with what you're asking about. The more comfortable your subject is, the better the interview will be for u and your subject.



Step 5

Listen to your subject. Let your subject talk. Don't be so quick to interupt with more questions. Wait for a pause before asking your next questionto your subject.



Step 6

Let the conversation flow into your questioning. It's good to go into the interview with an idea of what you want to askbefore you ask it, but don't be afraid to ask your questions in response to what your subject has said.



Step 7

Have no time limit to your interview. Don't limit your time or your subject's chance to tell his/her story. This will make the most comfortable interview possible. After he/she is finished, thank them for their time and wish them good day/night.
