How can you prepare for an interview?

What will be an ideal response?

Beyond simple research, you should approach your interviews understanding both the purpose of your interview and why this source matters to your project. Check newspaper files. Digital and print searches can yield personality profiles written on your subject, articles in which the person was quoted as an expert and information about the person’s field on the whole. Surf a company site to find background on your source, including key biographical, educational, and professional information. In some cases, a person is a big deal in a trade or field but hasn’t gotten a lot of attention in mainstream newspapers or magazines. Your source will likely have some presence on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Look here for information about the person’s passions, interests, and goals.
