I notice many of the interviewers need schooling on how to structure their questions. Asking compound questions always offers the interviewee an out, p;rompting a specific response instead of getting what was really on the interviewee’s mind. Giving too long of an introduction on a question robs us (the reader) of the interviewer’s thoughts and reasoning. Questions should be short, precise, using mutually understood words.

Hah if we are gonna go there: ban questions that begin with: “how were you feeling when…” or “tell me about when…”. Let somebody else ask a question if that’s what you’ve got.

so you say you want to talk about questions? Walk me through that. what does that look like? How do you feel when you ask that question?
(Yes, THANK YOU. Actual good questions are an art and if you ask them people will give you all the time you could ever want. If anyone is a Michael Lewis fan, he said this really well one time: The only reason why subjects of my stories spend so much time with me is that I ask good questions. for them it’s like getting a free consultant.)
