Interview Techniques
Techniques Do:
Pause to consider your response
Be positive
Include sound bites where possible
Be aware of wider issues affecting the industry and comment on them where relevant
Consider the journalist as driven by fact, news and being able to deliver something that their rivals
cant
Use company and full product names
Techniques Dont:
Do not speak too quickly, instead give yourself time to formulate your answer
Do not say anything off the record
Do not be afraid to say you do not know the answer. You can always say: That is outside of my
area of expertise but I can put you in touch with the right person
Do not feel pressured to answer confusing questions. Ask for the questions to be repeated or
rephrased instead
Only quote information that is in the public domain or that you would be happy to be attributed
to you in print
Do not repeat negative questions or phrases. Rephrase or reframe these in a positive way to
include your key messages
Do not speak in absolutes in case there is contradictory information available
