Contact the person you have chosen, and agree on a time and format for the interview. Familiarise yourself with the teleconference equipment, and check that it works.
Students work in small buzz groups to come up with ideas for questions.
Make sure every student has one good question to ask during the interview. Use open questions that will draw the interviewee out. Remember, focus on ideas and actions, and how they have affected others. Sometimes, it helps the interviewee to receive an email or fax before the interview listing the questions. After the interview, talk about what went well, and what didn't.
