    OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

    I. PREPARATION

     Be fully prepared prior to the interview. Be
    knowledgeable about the topic to be discussed.
     Research prior to the interview by visiting the
    interviewee ahead of time.
     If there are websites or books about the person or
    company, read them to gain information.
     Make notes when researching the topic that can
    later be used to form questions asked during the
    interview.
    II. FORM QUESTIONS

     Create questions to ask before the interview
    begins.
     Prepare more questions than you expect to ask in
    case the interview lasts longer or the questions are
    answered faster than first thought.
     Over preparation is better than no preparation.
    III. SHOW COURTESY

     Be courteous.
     Remember that the interviewee is giving time out
    of their schedule to help with research.
     For this reason, he or she deserves to be shown
    respect.
     This includes arriving on time for the interview,
    politely greeting the interviewee and introducing
    yourself.
     It is also important to dress appropriately.
    IV. TAPE THE INTERVIEW

     Before the interview begins, ask the interviewee if
    the session can be recorded.
     A tape recording of the session is very helpful to
    listen to while writing out the results of the
    interview.
     Whether or not a recording is made, take notes on
    a note pad during the interview.
    V. CONFIRM AND CLARIFY

     Clarify details during the interview.
     This includes the spelling of names, places, dates,
    and times.
     For any topic discussed during the interview,
    clarification to ensure accuracy is important.
    VI. ENDING THE INTERVIEW

     End the session on good terms.
     This is very important because if there are further
    questions that need to be asked, a positive
    relationship will need to be kept.
     The interviewee should be thanked for their time
    and information.
    VII. RESEARCH INFORMATION

     Transcribe the interview immediately to keep the
    information as accurate as possible.
     It is important to do it as soon as possible while
    the facts remain fresh in memory.
     Relax, have fun and enjoy talking to your
    interviewee.
