In this series, I intend to share my knowledge and experiences. This first book, Interviewing Quick Guide: The Art and Craft, is intended to help writers and other interviewers and their subjects have the best interviewing experience as possible. I hope you en-joy the book and the process.
You might wonder why I would write a book like this. It dawned on me some time ago that there is an art to conducting an interview.
I have been a writer for over 40 years and have my own marketing company, Convey Media Group. We help clients, especially independent authors and innovators, with social media and video as well as branding and other traditional marketing. In retrospect, I realize I have been interviewing folks for most of those years whether gathering software requirements as a technical writing in a major corporation or while working as a video producer for promotional videos.
I ran the video committee for the Digital Marketing For Business conference and our group did video interviews with most of the speakers. As I worked with my committee members, some were more comfortable handling these interviews than others. Some interviewers felt more in their element because they had an understanding of the technology. Others seemed to draw comfort from their ability to prepare ques-tions that would set the interviewee at ease.
I realized that there were a few tips and techniques that helped many of the interviewers.
This book is my attempt to share some of that knowledge with you so you can up your game the next time you do an in-terview. Although we did not find any hard and fast rules, the experience did provide some important clues to increase the interviewer’s comfort and run smoother sessions.
Author Drew Becker's book, Interviewing Quick Guide: The Art and the Craft is a wonderful book. What separates this book from many of the other books on the same subject is its down to earth and easy to read writing style. Drew is a pragmatist which is easy to see from the start to the end of the book. He guides the reader on the best way to conduct an interview and to get the information you need from someone to get the real facts. There is a talent to writing a book like this in that as a reader you never like to get the feeling an author is rigidly pushing their own techniques. I really got the impression in reading this book that the author was saying trust your own instincts. The book can serve as a guide to assist you in becoming a more thorough interviewer. It is loaded with tips based on the research and practical experience that Drew Becker has gained over the many years of his very successful business career. By Bernie Ashman, author of SignMates, Intuition and Your Sun Sign, and Sun Signs and Past Lives
As a lead teacher heading a team of seven people, I am often called upon to interview candidates who seek positions at our school. Athough my interviews are private and not recorded or publicized, I found the information in this book to be very helpful in outlining the communication skills necessary to carry out a successful job interview. This consists of introducing the candidates to the unique programs we have in our school, but more importantly to ask open-ended questions that elicit the interviewee's response about his or her qualifications, interests, strong and weak points, and compatibility with our environment. Bravo to Mr. Becker for reminding me in this book of some of the most effective techniques of the interviewing process! By Dinah Chetrit
What an outstanding, comprehensive guide! The author did not forget a thing! This helped me to know how to prepare - the types of questions to ask - what I will need for the interview - how to treat the "guest" - what to do after the interview - and all the things needed in order to have and make use of a successful interview! By Doris Henderson
Concise and to the point! Very helpful for small business owners. By Nancy Z.

Instructions for revocation
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
