Interview Technique
An interview is a conversation between two or more people where questions are asked by the interviewer to elicit facts or statements from the interviewee. Interviews are a standard part of qualitative research. They are also used in journalism and media reporting and in various employment-related contexts, such as a job interview. Those wishing to attend further education may be interviewed to secure their place at college or university.
The NEA Interview Technique syllabus takes Learners through a process where they will learn the important aspects of taking part in an interview and the importance of self-presentation. A successful interviewee will be able to engage interest, possibly persuade and inform their interviewer, sharing their thoughts and ideas with clarity of thought, confidence and ease.
