Part Ⅱ  A good interview
During an interview, direct observations are made either in a natural setting or in a laboratory. In naturalistic observations, the interviewer notes reactions to everyday situations, typical responses to people, and expressive5 behaviour. In the laboratory, the interviewer experimentally manipulates situations and observes the interviewee's behaviour under these controlled conditions.

Part Ⅲ  The interviewer's eye
A successful interview not only digs out the interviewee's educational background and employment history but also reflects the interviewee's inner reality. So to be a qualified7 interviewer is not an easy job. Skilled interviewers pay attention to what is said and notice how responses relate to non-verbal cues such as posture8 and facial expressions.
