What preparations should an interviewer make before an interview

As an AI language model, I do not have experiences conducting interviews but here are some general preparations an interviewer should make before conducting an interview:

1. Familiarize themselves with the candidate's resume and work history.
2. Research the company the candidate is applying to and the role they are interviewing for.
3. Prepare a list of job-related questions to ask the candidate.
4. Ensure the interview location is ready and equipped for the interview.
5. Set a specific time and date for the interview.
6. Review the job description and requirements to ensure the interviewee meets the criteria.
7. Take notes during the interview to refer to later.
8. Understand the process after the interview with candidate feedback or meeting and making the final decision.
9. Arrange the availability of their colleagues or other decision-makers if required in the interview panel.
10. Follow remote interview protocols, communication platforms, and scheduling if it is not a physical interview.
