This week’s International Association of Interviewers interview and interrogation training tip provided by Wicklander-Zulawski, has Angela Nino, CFI looking at common mistakes that interviewers can make during an interview.
We review many interviews and interrogations every year, and time and again we find two mistakes that cost interviewers dearly. One common mistake is that interviewers show the subject their evidence. While this can be helpful during the interview, often the interview shows the subject the evidence too early, or they show too much of it. A second common mistake is that the confession becomes too important to the interviewer. Subjects may pick up on this tendency, and can use it as motivation to withhold information from the interviewer. Angela discusses these common mistakes and provides some tips on how to better manage these situations.
