Q&A for How to Write Interview Questions

Make sure that the writing style is formal and proper when writing an interview. That way, you sound more professional, and would probably end up getting more serious/reliable answers for your interview.

That depends on the specific topic you are researching. Ask about how the teacher's work relates to your topic.

To begin with, talk about your strengths and what you will bring to the company.

Usually Mr. or Ms. followed by their last name. Or if they introduce themselves with just their first name, then just call them by their first name. If you're asking what the job title of such a person would be, that depends. Usually the interviewer is not just an interviewer, but a person with a larger job at the company, so they'd be referred to by whatever their actual job title is. If they *are* only an interviewer, or you don't know their job title, you can refer to them as "the interviewer" or "the person who interviewed X."

Make questions relevant to the topic.

Find a short introduction and explain the topic or purpose of your interview. Focus on questions that are fun to answer and avoid gloomy topics like the difficulties in teaching, unless it is your main focus. Depending on your project, letting your teacher know what you intend to ask beforehand might be wise. Finish the interview by announcing the end and thanking your teacher for participating.

First, direct your interviewee to take a seat and make themselves comfortable. Smile. Introduce yourself by full name and your title within your company. For example, "My name is Annette Cox and I am the Human Resources Coordinator. My main task is to Interview interested applicants like you and to begin the possible hiring process." Give a pause to allow the person to respond to your introduction. Then. "I see you brought in your resume and reference letters; I was impressed to see the management positions you have held. Tell me a bit more about your last (or current) job..." Then, you can begin asking other more targeted or wide open questions.

Write what you want to know about a job applicant and the person's experience. Depending on the kind of job and level of the position, you can ask some "What would you do if..." questions but think about why you're asking the question. For example, for an entry level job in fast food (where pay is low), you might ask, "When checking the restrooms at the end of a shift, you find a man's wallet on the sink. What would you do, since you didn't see who left it?" (You're looking for an answer where the person takes the wallet to the boss without opening it, and gets direction from that supervisor. The person should know to follow protocols and display honesty and integrity.)
