"The Art of the Interview"

Great article from The New Yorker about interviewing:

I find that the hardest part of interviewing someone isn't the interview itself but coming up with the right questions. It requires a great deal of foresight. You have to know, beforehand, how the interview is going to move the story forward and where the interview fits within the whole scheme of the article.

That's not to say that the act of interviewing is easy. It can be very difficult as well. Building rapport with your interviewee, guiding them in the right direction without being too pushy -- it requires both confidence and finesse.

I look forward to further developing the skill!
