body language can make a huge differences when giving out interviews. positive body language can help your interviewee feel more relaxed and more open to answer the questions that they wouldn't have otherwise. negative body language has the opposite effect and can make them feel closed up and will make for a dull interview.
here is an example of an interview with negative body language... during this interview he he has back turned to her making her feel isolated from the interview session, whilst he interviews someone else. he isn't interacting with her and making her feel comfortable and by speaking to her in a way that makes her feel less comfortable than she already is, makes her feel less important.
if he were to interview her in a different way, a start would be to speak to her more politely and apologize when she asks him to speak to her and position the seating area in a way that puts Russell in the middle surrounded by his interviewees, so they can all communicate well with each other. getting her involved in other interviews will make her feel more comfortable and more involved.
here is an example of an interview that demonstrates good interview skills...
this interview deposits good interview skills because it is very laid back and in a comfortable surrounding area which will help the person being interviewed, in this case Taylor Momsen, feel more comfortable. at the start Holly and Philip compliment her and are very chatty and have a conversational start to the conversation, which makes her feel more at ease. as the interview progresses they listen closely and develop questions effectively off the answers she gives in return, making it apparent that they are interested in what she is doing in her life and her opinions on different subjects that the answers led from.
