Experience with research interviews.

To put it honestly, I've never done a research interview. Unless you count to interviews I do at work. As a fire captain, I have to "interview" patients, family members and/or bystanders as to what happened or what they can tell me about the individual we are there to take care of. If that counts, than I have lots of experience. However, in the book on page 110, it discusses and outlines something much different. I have done research online and at a local library in the past but that was only for an English class I took at Sierra College. I did help my father-in-law do a video interview of his mother before she died. All we did back then was prepare some questions to ask her about her life and experiences and any advice she had for her children and grand children. We wanted to get her on video so future generations could see and hear her. It was kind of neat to do and we plan on doing more with additional family members in the future. Unfortunately, finding people who are willing to do it is difficult. Applying that to research interview environment sounds like it would not be much different. The six steps outlined seem to really make sense and I can see where, if you followed them exactly, you would be in great shape to have a successful interview. That is the only advice I can provide.
