The document provides guidance on conducting an effective interview with three key parts: opening, body, and closing. The opening introduces the interviewer, purpose, and issue. The body consists of different types of questions to ask such as direct, open-ended, closed-ended, and probes. The closing summarizes key points and allows the interviewee to ask questions. Effective interviewees answer questions clearly and concisely, ask for clarification, and turn negative questions positive.
