Interview

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

In a communication context, an interview is a structured conversation in which one or more people ask questions to gather information, evaluate a candidate, or explore a topic in depth. Interviews can be formal or informal and occur across many settings — job recruitment, journalism, research, and broadcast media. Effective interviewers prepare focused questions, actively listen, and manage time to cover key areas. Interviewees benefit from clear, structured answers that directly address what is being asked.

Process Questions

Process questions ask participants to explain how something works, how a decision was made, or how a result was reached — rather than simply what the answer is. They focus on reasoning, methodology, and the steps taken to arrive at an outcome. In training, coaching, and facilitated workshops, process questions help participants reflect on their thinking and deepen their understanding. They are more cognitively demanding than recall questions and are effective for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Formal communication is carefully worded, documented, and often subject to approval or review processes. It ensures accountability and consistency, particularly in regulatory, legal, or governance contexts where clear records are essential.
