Interviewing People Can Be Terrifying!

Let's be honest here if you've never interviewed someone before it can be a pretty nerve wracking experience. My biggest fear before I joined the BBC was “What if I look like a complete idiot?" And guess what? I actually achieved that fear because I once asked someone the same interview question twice within the space of five minutes. "DOH!" indeed. That howler came from a number of mistakes that all beginner interviewers make. I once interviewed someone for thirty minutes with the pause button on for goodness sake. Put simply if you have no idea what you're doing then you're going to make terrible interviews. Worse than that you'll make boring interviews and who wants to listen to a boring interview?

That's why with "Discover The Secrets To Successful Media Interviews!" you'll be saving yourself months of pain by discovering straight from the start what you need to do in order to get high quality interviews.

How Can Being A Good Interviewer Help Me?

High quality interviews can be a great way to drive traffic to your blog, website and You Tube channel. Poor quality interviews however can actually push people away from your sites because bad interviews can make you look amateurish. Don't be one of those people making bad interviews, make high quality interviews.

Why Learning These Skills Once Will Give You A Lifetime Benefit

First of all if you don't have an overall interview plan you're going to prepare your questions poorly. Sloppy questions then create bad interviews and who wants to waste their time listening to a bad interview that you've just made? What you need is a template to work from. A template that teaches you how to find an interview idea, how to research your interview idea, how to structure your interview idea and how to prepare for your interview. You'll also need to know what types of interview questions to ask and when to ask the right type of interview questions. For example is now a good time to use an imaginary question or should you use a devil's advocate question? "Discover The Secrets To Successful Media Interviews!" can teach you these skills very easily in a fun and engaging way. And remember once you learn these skills you'll be able to use them for life. So why not start improving your skills now, it's only $30!

Low Price Means Low Quality Doesn't It?

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
