ABSTRACT

Luckily, not all interview situations are as daunting as job interviews. Thankfully, there are other types. One-to-one research interviews, for example, whether structured, semi-structured or unstructured, are a popular, non-threatening and highly useful research instrument, as Chapter 2 testifies. While such interviews may contain some of the features of the job interview – for example, a series of prepared questions to be asked of a number of people individually – those features are adapted and modified to suit the purposes of the research exercise.
