Don’ts

Do not probe more on same question.

Avoid topics other than the main topic.

Cut lengthy answers by the interviewee. (Whimsical ,depends on the interviewee)

Do not enrange temperment if person exhibits short temper

If personal life is under various opinion, of public surrounding the person better avoid those & concentrate on topic unless your interview is on public controversy (over him/her)itself

Don’t speak very highly of yourself.

Don’t try to be somebody other than yourself.

Speak the truth and nothing but the truth.

Express your desire of learning something new.

That should be it…Unless you’re running for

president and that ,WILL NOT BE NEEDED !

My best wishes
