Don’t let reporters take control of interviews.
One of the most common mistakes candidates make during interviews is allowing reporters to control the topic, tone, and pace of the interview. Reporters accomplish this with all kinds of tricks like speeding up, slowing down, addressing random topics, interrupting, acting upset, disagreeing, and that’s just the beginning. At the end of the day, interviews are simple. Go in with a clear message and a clear game plan. Then, stick with it and don’t let the reporter get you off balance.
