appropriate to the serious purpose of the interview. There should be a sense
of formality of dialogue.

moments, as well as sophistication and depth?
 Are there complex interactions such as interruptions, completion of
questions, etc.?
 Does your interview flow well and develop along a sequence of ideas?

Format:
The interview should be in the form of a script.
