correct, conduct=make. Note: conduct only means make, but we don't use make in this situation. In writting or oral, it is " we decided to conduct the interview)

Well, one doesn't really "make" an interview, of course. "Conduct," barring meanings related to music, either means: 1) "To comport (oneself) in a specified way." Like: "The lie was obvious from the way he conducted himself." Or, 2) "To direct the course of; manage or control." The latter is what is meant here, of course: we decided to manage/lead/control the interview; ergo, conduct it.
