Interview Planning Worksheet

Plan the interview against the five pillars before you walk in. Preparation serves the conversation; it does not replace it.

Case / reference

S · Safety: how will I build rapport and procedural fairness in the first minutes?

Bias check: what is my likely reaction, and how will I manage it?

A · Accountability: how do I hold the facts without humiliation?

F · First Experiences: opening questions about origin and earliest awareness

E · Evolution: decision points to probe (awareness, fantasy, rationalization, opportunity)

R · Review: how will I play the account back and invite corrections?

After: my self-care plan to decompress
