What Makes a Good Interview?The intent of a qualitative interview is to encourage, elicit, and illuminate the interviewee’s experience in rich, thick detail. As you consider your interview, think about:
Asking of questions to ask to encourage stories and examples
How to “reframe” questions to reduce ambiguity and bias
What you can do to make the interviewee at ease
What you can do to build rapport and trust
