During an interview, the case manager demonstrates attitudes about self and others. One way to learn about these attitudes and characteristics is to watch others conduct interviews. Good practice is to watch interviewers on television. Identify a tv show you like to watch where the lead person interviews other people. For example:
Oprah
Meet the Press
Good Morning America
Today Show
Jimmy Fallon
While you are watching an interview, make notes on the attitudes and characteristics that are important for good interviewing.
