How long will the interview take?

The length of the interview will depend on how much you have to say as well as your stamina (the interviews can be exhausting). Some interviews have taken a little less than an hour.

Where will the interview take place?

We prefer to interview you in your home, but if that’s not possible, we will find a safe and private place that is convenient and comfortable for you.

What kinds of questions will you ask me?

There is no set list of questions, because every experience is different, and because it’s your story. In general, those these are the kinds of things we would like to know about:

Will this interview be recorded?

Yes.

What if I am not a good public speaker?

The interview is not a speech and is not entertainment. The interview is more like a conversation, except that you will be doing most of the talking and the interviewer will say very little.
