Summertime Request 6

In chapter 7, regarding the subject of interviews, Hilliard asserts:

· The writer/researcher must dig deeply, and the writer/interviewer should be equally familiar with the interviewee’s background, attitudes, and feelings which are keys to a successful interview. 

In strategic communication environments, such as corporate communication, interviews may be a necessary part of a video project.

 Would you take this approach in a corporate interview?  Why or why not?  

Would the position of the interviewee relative to yourself -- equal, subordinate, superior -- make a difference?  Why or why not?  

Finally, if you would choose another approach from those Hilliard outlines, what might you choose?  As always, explain your reasoning.
