The interview is a communicative interchange between the interviewer and the interviewee.  When interviewing a less than fully cooperative interviewee, there exists differing goals among the two.  Each, while endeavoring to reach their particular interview outcome is conducting – on implicit and explicit levels – an assessment of the other.  What the interviewee’s assessment of the interviewer reveals determines the next move the interviewee will undertake.  The interviewer unaware that the interviewee is also capable of making assessments is vulnerable to disclosing the degree of information to allow the interviewee to prevail.

The session utilizes related materials, previously recorded interviews and recorded lectures to address the concept.

Objectives:

Given a video or audio recording of an interview, the participant will:

1. Identify the information disclosed by the interviewer by the questions they asked;

2. Identify the information disclosed by the interviewer by their non-verbal behavior;

3. Provide a critique of the interviewer’s disclosures and recommend a strategy to minimize inadvertent disclosures by the interviewer.
