How to Say "to interview" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “to interview” is “entrevistar” — B1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples

Tomorrow I am going to interview my teacher for the school newspaper.
El periodista entrevistó a la presidenta ayer por la tarde.
The journalist interviewed the president yesterday afternoon.
Espero que entrevisten a más candidatos para el puesto pronto.
I hope they interview more candidates for the position soon.
The Personal 'a'
When you interview a specific person, you must put the word 'a' before them. For example: 'Entrevistar a María'.
Easy Patterns
This is a regular -ar verb, so its endings follow the exact same pattern as 'hablar' or 'cantar'.
Forgetting the 'a'
Mistake: “Voy a entrevistar el candidato.”
Correction: Voy a entrevistar al candidato. (Since the candidate is a person, we need the 'a' which combines with 'el' to make 'al'.)
