Body Language
In interviews, body language is considered intelligence to create leads
for more questions.
Some interviewees have an agenda. Others want to be incredibly helpful, because
they love true crime shows. Yet others will try and figure out what you want and will
discard what may be important intelligence to your case. MOST people start in the
middle and meander. It’s your job to bring everything to light, whether or not they
actually want to talk about it.
Interviews have a way of going into unexpected territory.
