This PPT slide, part of the 13-slide Designing and Delivering Focus Interviews PowerPoint presentation, presents a comprehensive checklist designed to enhance the effectiveness of interviews. It is structured into 3 main sections: Preparation of the Interview, Execution of the Interview, and Follow-up. Each section contains specific questions that interviewers should consider to ensure a smooth and productive process.

In the Preparation section, key logistical elements are highlighted. Interviewers are prompted to confirm the location, start time, and the identity of the interviewee. This foundational step is crucial as it sets the stage for a focused discussion.

The Execution section is divided into 2 parts: Introduction and Close. During the Introduction, interviewers are reminded to establish rapport by introducing themselves and clarifying the interview’s purpose. Confirming the interviewee's role and outlining the interview framework are also emphasized. This clarity helps manage expectations and fosters a more open dialogue. The Close section stresses the importance of concluding with an open-ended question, which encourages further insights, and ensures that next steps are agreed upon. Thanking the interviewee is also noted as a vital courtesy that reinforces a positive interaction.

Finally, the Follow-up section addresses the post-interview process. It prompts interviewers to ensure their notes are clear and to summarize key points effectively. The emphasis on feedback mechanisms indicates a commitment to continuous improvement in the interviewing process. This checklist serves as a practical tool for interviewers, ensuring they cover essential aspects that contribute to a successful interview experience.
