=**Interview Tips: When conducting an interview, it is expected that one remain professional and respectable. As one greets their person to be interviewed, a handshake will provide a welcome and one should properly introduce themselves and anyone they have brought along. One's questions should be well formulated based on previous knowledge and research and should be intelligent, to show that one has an interest in the topic that you are interviewing them about. You should then proceed to the interview. If one is to make an audio and/or video recording of the interview, you should kindly ask their permission first and have all release forms properly completed. As the questions are asked, one may adjust the order of the questions to provide a logical flow to the interview if a specific response should require a question that closely relates to the answer that is given. One Important tip is to have a clear idea of most of your ideas, preferably memorized to provide a more intimate setting that is more resemblant to a discussion than to a quiz.
