Juniors did not have clear
knowledge of what an inter-

they might do in such and such
a case, with never a thought
that if they went ahead and
did it they would have a first
rate story. An interview is a
conversation in which one per-
son asks questions with a view
to finding out all the other per-
son knows on any or all sub

fond Of asking questions as a
