Active Listening

Active listening is when the interviewer listens and replys to the responses offered to you during the interview. This contains noddind and smiling by agreeing with most of the things the interviewee says but also make sure your next question is related to the previous answer.

Here is an example below of Active listening.

This clip really demonstarates active listening because the interviewer knew how to handle the interviewee, even though she said that she didn't want to talk about her personal life, the interviewer told her that it is a lot better to talk about it than to keep it all in because that way she can clear her name by telling the audience that it's just rumours. The interviewer also told the interviewee that she knew what she was going through because she herself has experienced it in the past, the interviewer gave the interviewee some advice on how she overcomed it; this advice really helped as it gave the interviewee the boost and confidence to allow herself to open up to the interviewer, this is why I think this is a good example of active listening.
