1. Building rapport and trust with a person you are interviewing is not always the easiest or fastest thing. If I was assigned to interview a new professor on campus, I would try to do some research ahead of time, if possible, on the person. Examples of what I should know in advance may include what subject he/she teaches, where he/she is from, his/her age, and so on. This would prepare me for what kinds of questions to ask and in what way to present them. Upon requesting a meeting, I would need to make sure I fully explain the purpose of the interview and what kinds of questions I plan on asking him/her, so he/she feels more at ease and in control. At the interview, I would show that I am genuinely interested in the professor's life and new career at the university; this makes the interviewee more comfortable and likely to open up. Lastly, I would review all the information I took in to make sure I got it correct and in context. The quickest way to ruin one's reputation and trust with an interviewee is to misquote or put words in his/her mouth that he/she did not intend.
