Summary: /* Do Your Research */

== Do Your Research ==
If you do research on the subject ahead of time, you can create more specific questions, which will make your subject more invested in answering your questions.

If you are interviewing an ordinary everyday question, ask background questions first.
'''The goal is to go into the interview so well-informed that you don't need the interview.'''

== Research is good ==

== List of questions ==
If you have a long list of questions, try to group them by topic ahead of time

Sometimes, ask stupid questions (meaning that there's an obvious answer) to get a quote that you want.

At the beginning of the interview, it's possible to start with a "zinger." Throw your subject off guard, this especially works for politicians. The following is a link of David Remnick interviewing Barack Obama. Pay attention, to how he starts off the interview.

Save confrontational questions for the end, in case the person you interview gets offended and wants to leave.

Ask unusual questions to get interesting answers, especially with politicians or many celebrities that "rehearse" their answers.


== Note-taking ==
Keep a recorder with you to capture all the quotes completely and accurately. Also, take notes by hand as if there's no recorder in case the recorder fails.

Remember, it is fair to ask the interviewee to slow down.

Take note of certain gestures, not randomly.

There are plenty of smart phones out there with the specs and features to make power users and tech junkies swoon. But what about folks who are okay with keeping things simple and don’t want to spend hundreds on a phone only to then pay for an expensive monthly plan? Between free or discounted phones and stripped-down models, there are plenty of options for grabbing a cell phone—even a smart phone—for less than $100.

==Free with two-year contract==

It’s easy to find a free smart phone or camera phone if you don’t mind signing up for a two-year contract with one of the major carriers. When browsing for these free, or “penny” phones, keep in mind the monthly charges for calling, texting, and data - and make sure the carrier is the best for your region and the way you use your phone.

As for the phones themselves, some retailers like [http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Folstemplatemapper.jsp%3F_dyncharset%3DISO-8859-1%26id%3Dpcat17071%26type%3Dpage%26ks%3D960%26st%3DFree_Featured_Phones_20110213%26sc%3DGlobal%26cp%3D1%26sp%3D%26qp%3Dcrootcategoryid%252523%252523-1%252523%252523-1~~q467265655f46656174757265645f50686f6e65735f3230313130323133~~cabcat0800000%252523%2525231%252523%252523a~~cpcmcat190800050010%252523%2525231%252523%252523a~~cabcat0801000%252523%2525231%252523%252523a~~ncpcmcat209400050001%252523%2525230%252523%252523a%26list%3Dy%26usc%3DAll%2BCategories%26nrp%3D15%26iht%3Dn&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNEWG_4F14n3v_zE1snFKcL8Q9jzZw Best Buy] and [http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwireless.amazon.com%2Fb%2F684177011%2Fref%3Dbs_dp_ph_noresults&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNFYWqXVsxlyhoiMS8HApnPb_76dFw Amazon] have deals for smart phones that cost a penny but require a two-year contract. Both offer the HTC DROID Incredible with a two-year Verizon contract. It’s a highly rated smart phone with a 1GHz processor, 8-megapixel camera, and the Google Android 2.1 operating system. There are better phones out there, but most cost a lot more than a penny. Both retailers also offer smart phones from LG, Samsung, and others.

Perhaps the most overlooked option for North American cell users is far away...literally. Asian-based websites offer literally hundreds, if not thousands of cell phones, including smart phones, all unlocked and ready to use. Without recommending any specific one, a quick web search may turn up names like Pandawill, Light in the Box and dozens of others, most based in China. Many sellers ship free and the selection of quad-band cell phones usable anywhere in the world is mind boggling. Start with $35 basic phones that include most common functions like mp3 ringtone capability, simple cameras and a handful of games. From there, full-function smartphones with video, audio, FM and even TV functions are commonly available in our price range. Ebook and handwriting recognition, LED flash, dual cameras, front and back are commonplace in the sub hundred dollar range. Android 2.2-capable, capacitive touchscreen bar format phones, (read: IPhone-quality), are breaking toward the $100 range, although the falling dollar of late may keep that barrier elusive.

For geeky cell phone users on a budget, Asian smartphones almost universally come with JAVA, opening up a huge selection of applications, many of which are free, unlike IPhone.

The downside can be buggy code; check ratings. While most Asian-branded phones seem to be durable and offer competitive quality screens and hardware, operating systems are proprietary and certain functions may have hiccups, resetting your profile to factory defaults without warning. You may also find your Asian-branded phone has reset your ringtone without asking and the volume needs to be reset. Most of the time, de-and re-powering the phone reboots the OS and that solves it, but if you're not someone who is prepared to live with such niggling glitches, take a pass.

But if you're adventurous and don't mind throwing away a bad phone after you have used it for a year, you'll join cell users starting to realize that owning your phone outright gives you a huge sense of control over your tele-life. $100 worth of Asian-branded cell phone typically buys $400 worth of capability, and design and form factor aren't limited to the four models your cell service provider offers. Hang Peng offers a model that may appeal to women who don't want to walk around with a miniature computer, they offer a model with both touchscreens and keyboards that neatly fold around a universal swivel. Open it and use the querty keybord or fold it back and use the touchscreen. After your call, the phone folds into what looks like a stylish chrome-rimmed accessory case with interchangeable covers to coordinate with the day's fashion.

Asian sellers each typically offer more than a hundred styles and form factors, including, yes, wristwatch-based, touchscreen smartphones. Most of these phones provide dual SIMM slots, so more than one person can use the same phone without sharing phone numbers, and they work on any cell network that utilizes SIMM-based phones. Sadly, that does not yet include Verizon, although that company is reportedly considering a change to SIMM based phones.

You might also enjoy a sense of smug satisfaction; outside the US and Canada, the trend, worldwide among cell customers is to purchase a phone BEFORE shopping for cellular service providers. That, combined with a byzantine choice colors, styles and capability, make cell phones into more of a personalized identity statement for international buyers. Walking in to your neighborhood cell service provider, phone in hand, is also a great way to make a statement, to perhaps even spur more competition among western cell service providers.

Asian-branded phones usually ship free, but if not, shipping is not cost prohibitive. Qualms about about buying a cell phone from a Hong Kong website will fade when the phones arrive and work fine. Most are shipped with two batteries, sparing users of that dreaded early battery death syndrome.

Reliability: most Asian cell phone websites include extensive user comments and ratings, and honor warranties consistently; look for a website that has the best ratings, and you should be safe. On the other hand, remember you are dealing with sellers on the other side of the Pacific, so Google other buyers and purchase experiences to play it safe.

==Under $100 with two-year contract==

This is where you can spend a little more to get more phone, but will still need to buy into a contract. This could be the ticket for BlackBerry fans, with models like the [http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwireless.amazon.com%2FBlackBerry-Bold-9700-Phone-AT%2Fdp%2FB002XDQHWW%2Fref%3Dsh_br_ph_10&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGBvWe5brBBPSUBmkoOq9d62D2q1Q Bold 9700] available at Amazon for $99.99 with a two-year Sprint contract.

And there are plenty more options out there.

==Less than $100 with no contract==

For those who want a basic phone with a camera and don’t need a robust web browser, [http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FNo-Contract%2BPhones%2FBasic-No-Contract-Phones%2Fpcmcat158400050071.c%3Fid%3Dpcmcat158400050071&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGXB22sTfF3RXetpwNfjtvEjS6hzA there are options] from Verizon, Virgin, AT&T, Sprint and others. With many of them, you can still access the Web and check your email, but doing so may feel like it’s 2005, not 2011. But for people who truly want or need a simple solution and would rather not buy into a contract, you can spend as little as $30 and have a small, efficient phone in your pocket in no time.

As for paying for pre-paid service, [http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuymobile.com%2Fmobile-phone-plans&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNE4zspP9vPXBH9ohPa8tddy6d_b6w it’s pretty simple]. You pay a certain amount, say $30, and you can only use that $30 worth of calls. After that, you won’t be able to make calls. But you can always re-up for whatever amount you like. This can be a great solution for travelers, parents who want to give a phone to their kids, or emergency phones. There are several carriers - large and small - that offer per-minute and per-text rates, usually ranging from $0.10 to $0.25 a minute or $0.10 to $0.20 per text. Popular retail websites can explain the options and set you up with pre-paid plans, or even monthly plans if you change your mind after buying the phone. Remember, over time a monthly plan will be cheaper than pre-paying. But if you only need the phone for a short period of time, pre-paid phones can be a great way to meet your needs.

Some carriers offer pre-paid plans with flat fee usage. For example, $50 for a new phone and $25/month will get you on Virgin Mobile USA with unlimited messaging and 300 anytime minutes. The same phone can have unlimited everything for $60/month. If you refer a new customer they will gladly give you and your referral free airtime.

This would not be a stripped down phone, you would have a camera, access to Facebook, etc. The monthly plans don't have a service commitment, since you bought the phone the carrier is not at risk due to subsidies.

Other pre-paid carriers allow you to round down minutes used, which can potentially save you money. Sprint and Walmart own such a carrier: commoncentsmobile.com. $10 for their simplest phone and 7 cents per minute. Imagine a 4.5 minute call, all carriers will round it to 5 minutes. Common Cents will charge you 4 minutes for the same call.
