Hi everyone,
I spoke to Jiannin, and let's have have an HCI meeting Tue 2 July (this Tue) on the topic of Learning & Improving Semi-Structured Interview Techniques. (I'll be away the following week so I asked to go earlier).
I have several new grad students joining who are excited to learn about this topic and discuss with other people who are doing it. And many of you said this could be quite useful, even if you're experienced there's always ways to keep improving and iterating on techniques for interviewing.
*If you have previous experience with interviews, we want your resources here (readings, guides, very good transcripts or videos, etc.): * https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zu5csTWoZUJ7txCbLO1PsLiyjOFrs2KsqYAnHkzn0J0/edit
tiny.cc/dinterview - Resources for doing HCI Interviewing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fByc4u6qOZyy1NOvBAAzk6T-fxWe85i3AyY3JjB-BOo/edit#
*Also, please take a moment before the meeting to reflect on interviewing.* What's helpful to know? When you were learning interviewing, what was difficult at first? Do you have advice? What are important things to keep in mind when preparing as an interviewer? Etc.
We'll be having smaller group discussions, with particular attention to capturing ideas and tips in the Google Doc. And to having people actually practice or demo ways they might interview.
Please just dump a whole bunch of resources into that Google doc, don't worry too much about how relevant they are. We can cut and organize later. tiny.cc/dinterview - Resources for doing HCI Interviewing https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fByc4u6qOZyy1NOvBAAzk6T-fxWe85i3AyY3JjB-BOo/edit#
