Title

The Challenge Of Getting Technical Experts To Talk: Why Interviewing Skills Are Crucial To The Technical Communication Curriculum

Abstract

Journalism and communication programs recognize the need to teach their students interviewing theory and techniques. Technical communicators rely on interviews for a significant percentage of the information they need to do their jobs. Interviewing techniques are ranked in the top ten topics that technical communicators think should be taught in technical writing programs. The technical writing curriculum must include courses in interviewing skills. This paper describes a course with a general focus on interviewing skills and a particular emphasis on the challenges technical communicators face in the interview situation. © 1993 IEEE
