An interview article means an article written about interview queries, questions, situations and attitude or behavior of applicants. Or to put it even simply, we can say it is a piece of information written to cover everything related to an interview.

Step-wise Guide for Writing Interview Article

  1. Select a Perspective

 An interview can be written easily by following three perspectives that are discussed below.

  • Literal Perspective
  • Hybrid Perspective
  • Narrative Perspective

Do not get confused from the above terms because we will separately discuss each and every point mentioned above  with the help of examples.

Literal Writing Perspective

In this perspective, answers and questions are written by following a literal way. A literal way does not mean something written literary.

  • In this style, one can use italic, bold format
  • Letters like Q for questions and A for answers are used here.
  • This perspective is suitable for personal interview.

For example

For better understanding below is an example.

Q- Alice, do you like your job?

A- Yes, I like being a receptionist.

Q- Sarah, are you satisfied with the work?

A-Yes, I am quite satisfied.

Hybrid Writing Perspective

In this type, leave the question by amalgamating it with narrative statement or direct quotes.

For example:  Alice is contented from her job: I like being a receptionist

 

Narrative Writing Perspective

This is slightly different than the other two mentioned before.

  • Narrative perspective requires the applicant to be represented as third person.
  • This style is appropriate for an article where interview part means to gather more information about a certain topic.

For example: I ask Alice about her job and she tells me she like being receptionist.

  1. Rephrase the Answers

Do you know what conversation actually means? It is all about unspoken words, half or incomplete sentences and gradual changes in topic. To make an interview interesting and attractive, you have to rephrase or change the sentences or words.

How to Rephrase the Sentences More Accurately?

In order to rephrase the sentences, one, must keep the following things in mind.

  • Paraphrasing the lines does not mean to change the meaning of sentence so be careful while doing this.
  • Sentence should convey the same meaning even changing in words and arrangement.
  • Furthermore, make it eye-catching so the reader cannot lose his/her curiosity and interest while reading.
  1. Make It Simple and Attractive

To make a writing look attractive it’s important not only to use fancy sentences that keep a reader excited, but also make sure to put in headings that drives interests.

 

Elements Required for a Catchy Article

As we usually put a heading, at the start of writing a piece, thus it is the first thing to get the eyeballs of the reader.

  • First things first, the heading must be made interesting.
  • Give interview title on the top
  • Use Streamers
  • Use pictures or images to make it more significant and striking
  • Make your article simple and appealing.
  • End the article by giving it a proper closure. It conveys good writing image.
