Tips for interviewing:
1. Introduce yourself, then put the person in the room where the interview is to take place, and leave them there for a short time. This allows them to get comfortable in the new enviroment.
2. Offer them something to drink, ie coffee or water. Nervouse interviewees get "dry mouth".
3. Put yourself in their shoes, (in other words show some compassion/respect when applicable).
4. Don't be afraid to use humor while asking questions. It will ease the situation, and likely make the person open up to you.
5. Give the person time to respond to your questions. If there seems to be too long of a pause, rephrase the question.

What? You want more advice!

Those are pearls of wisdom young man!

Just kidding, PM if you've got any questions.
