What is Interview?



Introduction:-
   An interview is a formal conversation in which both concerned parties attempt to find out if the other party offers something valuable to them.
A interview is a meeting between persons for a discussion. It is a conversation with a purpose.
An interview is a face to face verbal exchange which endeavours to discover as much information as possible in the least amount of time about some relevant matter.

A] Selection Interview/Job Selection:-

This type of interview is also known as "Job Interview", "Employment Interview", "Service Interview" etc. The main objective of this interview is to select the right candidate for the right position. Apart from the application letter, curriculum vitae and other documents that a prospective candidate sends the employers, it is essential that a face-to-face meeting take place between the employers and the candidate to check the suitability of the candidate for the position for which s/he is being recruited. This also gives the employer an opportunity to assess the entire personality of the candidate and choose one from among the many applicants for the job.

 Most recruiters look for three important requirements in a candidate:-
  Aptitude and Ability
  Commitment
  Adaptability

Aptitude and Ability indicate the capacity to do the job. Through the interview, the interviewer tries to find out if the qualities and qualifications mentioned in the CV/Resume are borne out through the replies of the candidate. 

Commitment is loyalty and dedication towards the company. The interviewer is interested in knowing if the candidate has a long-term interest in the company i.e. will the candidate stick on to the job or quit in a few months. The interviewer is obviously not interested in repeating the recruitment process in the near future.  

Adaptability is the ease with which the candidate will fit into the company: interpersonal relationships, the working style, values, etc.
