Eric Nalder responce

I really enjoyed the steps Eric Nalder made for conducting an interview, I not only think that this is important for the interviews we are doing in class, but I also think that these steps can be used outside the classroom. For example, when interviewing for a job I think that these tips could help get the job. The first step I found to be the most important was the research step, seems to me like to most important. Knowing who you will be interviewing or who will be interviewing you could help you find some common ground between you and the other person. This could help you try and make the conversation more casual and help you really understand the other person you are talking with. Another tip I really agreed with was to silence your ego and be prepared to just listen to the person you are interviewing. I think that this could be really helpful for me personally because I tend to control a conversation naturally, so reminding myself to really listen and understand the other person could help me obtain more of the information I need. I think both the research step and the keep it going step go hand in hand. If the door is closing doing the prior research may provide you with another conversation starter that gets the conversation going again. This is important for if you haven’t gotten all of the information that you need, and you need a couple more minutes to try and get the rest of the information that you desire. Overall the tips given by Eric Nalder will help me conduct future interview as well as give me tools that can help myself during an interview.
