Interviews

Interviews are structured conversations where one participant asks questions and the other provides answers. They are commonly used in various contexts, such as job hiring, research, and media. In job interviews, employers assess a candidate’s qualifications, skills, and compatibility with the company’s culture. In research, interviews can gather qualitative data by exploring participants’ thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Media interviews typically involve journalists who seek information or opinions from public figures or experts. Effective interviews require good communication skills, active listening, and the ability to formulate relevant questions. They can be conducted in person, over the phone, or via online platforms, and can range from formal to informal in tone and structure.
