Investigative Interview: 5 Basic Steps Interview at work place

nvestigative interview is what we are all forced to undertake at a point or the other in life, no matter our field of operation. This is where the thrust of truthfulness and honesty lies. However, people have always failed in their bid to establish the truth because at the point of finding out, they exhibited naivety which turned against them. Working as an investigative interviewer demands that you possess some prerequisite skills that set you apart from the crowd. This is what many people have not been patient enough to imbibe. Fortunately, the course, Investigative Interview, codifies everything you need to know about engaging a person in a serious discourse that will challenge them into saying the truth.

The course is grouped into five modules with each catering for a distinct but intertwined concept. It aptly discusses the skills the interviewer needs to imbibe before engaging the interviewee. Whenever we talk about investigative interview, what comes to mind is being able to unravel what no other person knows. Being part of this course means you would be armed with the weaponry of operating at a level where it would be difficult for fraudsters to play on your intelligence. Theories applied are practically discussed.
