ABSTRACT
Your interview plan will be incomplete unless you give a great deal of thought to how you design your interview questions. For some complex assignments, experienced writers write out their questions before an interview. For less complex ones, they may just formulate questions in their heads on the way to the interview. But before they get to that stage of skill, they have learned through trial and error which questions work and which questions will not. That is how one TV sports writer learned his lesson. After a Detroit Pistons basketball game, he asked star player John Salley: Were you “on” tonight? Salley' reply: On what? You mean was I on drugs or something?
