"It's funny but I do. I know some interviewing techniques, but most of what I "do" is not something I think about. People want to talk, and given a forum (like LJ!) they just spout anything. If you don't threaten, don't judge, listen, comment and nod so they know you are understanding, and only follow with how/what/when questions they tend to run on themselves. It takes very little steering in most cases - in my line of work the area they want to talk about is usually the focus of my investigation."
I agree, if you can make them feel relaxed they'll tell you anything, it's a great natural skill, I used it alot when hiring people at Circuit City and Best Buy, now I use it when talking to people in day to day routines.
