The focus is on the individual or person. The key to a successful interview is knowing what one wants to know about the person. Profiles are written about people in public life; politicians, sports personalities, businessmen etc.
Guidelines for a successful profile:
- Prepare carefully.
- Know the subject matter and person to be interviewed.
- Listen carefully and watch attentively and be alert towards what is being said and how it is said.
- Observe the surroundings to know more about the subjects interests, tastes etc.
- Questions should be simple and direct.
- Body language and gestures should also be taken into account.
- When the interview is conducted in the subject’s own office, the pictures on the wall and magazines on the coffee table reveal the person’s interest, taste and concern.
