In my interview, one of the most important things I need to remember is I am not interviewing myself. No matter what my opinion is it should not matter when I am asking the other person. I think I have mastered this skill particularly because a lot of my friends have different opinions and views on things than I do, but we are able to listen to each other and hear the other side without stirring things up.
First I will start by explaining what the interview will be about to prepare the person I am interviewing. I will talk about broader topics, listen to their response and come up with more specific questions based off of what their answer is so that my questions are relevant to what their thoughts are.
I plan on asking questions like
- Do they know what covering means and to give me their best guess.
- When was there a time that they felt like they felt the need to cover or noticed anyone else being covered by societal norms.
- Why including people is so hard and wether they think it happens more in younger people or older people.
- How can people help others understand their situation or others that are left out or forced to cover.
- If inclusion would make peoples lives much easier and how they think it would.
- What they would change in our society to make sure people are not forced to cover.
