Getting to Know You
| Purpose |
 |
The object is to give us an insight into a member of the club. |
|
|
It also exercises your own interview technique. But remember this is mainly your speaking assignment, which you share with someone of your choice. You need to control it. | |
| When preparing |
|
Choose someone who you would like to interview. You are not obliged to tell that person in advance. It can be as much a surprise for your interviewee as it is for your audience. |
|
|
Find out about the person in advance and explore areas which may be of interest to the audience. Prepare a few questions that can be answered with brief snappy responses. | |
|
|
You should also have a fallback plan in case the planned interviewee is a late apology. | |
| Before the meeting begins |
|
Inform Chairman 2 if there is any special way you would like to be introduced. You don't need to tell the Chairman who will be your interviewee. That can be left as a surprise. |
| What to do during your assignment |
|
Invite the interviewee to come out the front. |
|
|
Ask the questions in a friendly non intimidating way. | |
|
|
Give time to respond, but be prepared to reign in someone who is too verbose, or who wants to take over the session. Remember you stay in control. | |
|
|
As a guide, you should be able to fit in 4-5 questions. | |
|
|
When you are finished, hand back to Chairman 1. | |
| That is the end of your assignment. You will be evaluated by the General Evaluator |
