Post links to two exemplary interviews that you can use as models for your mentor interview:

In the intro they have dialogue that kind of sets the tone for the interview that is about to take place, it give s the reader some sort of sense of what the characters might be like. They also include a setting the White House which is something most people are familiar with, so reading this, the reader will be able to make connections and therefore be more interesting to them. Plus the way the questions and answers are formatted is really easy to follow along with.

This one is an interview of Director Spike Lee, now I don't know much about directors but after reading this you would know about him. They provide a lot of background info. What they do is go in and they have quotes in there but then they also have parts where they give background information so the reader can know what happened previously, or future plans, or what was happening during the interview etc. This is interesting, but theres a lot going on and I don't think I'd want to model my interview after it.
