MONDAY MARCH 3
- Review interview videos for good interview techniques -- notes on what to do and what to avoid
- Work on pre-interview survey and interview questions (step 3 Google Drive document)
- Homework tonight -- finish customizing the pre-interview survey for your trend (blue highlights on page 2). You really need to email this to your interviewee tonight so that you give them time to answer the questions and email it back to you before Thursday. Remember that your credibility is the most important factor in determining how the interview will go. So if you wait until Wednesday to send it out, and then tell your interviewee that you need it back the next day -- not good. Give them enough time so you don't have to rush them.
