Direct contact with an individual and a face to face relationship often provide a stimulating situation for both interviewer and interviewee.

Adequate preparation for the interview is a must. Careful planning saves not only time but also energy of both parties concerned. The interview is used to obtain facts or subjective data such as individual opinions, attitudes and preferences.
