Interview writing.

 

Tips for Interview writing:

1. Proper introduction should be there like, who is being interviewed by whom and on what occasion. 

2. Write 10 questions. There should be Minimum 8 quality questions. There should be flow in questions.

3. In the first question itself, begin by greeting the person to be interviewed.
