WHAT IS AN INTERVIEW?

NATURE AND SCOPE OF INTERVIEW

What is an interview?
How can it be defined?
What purpose does it serve?
How does it benefit the interviewees and the interviewers?

There are some of the questions often asked and discussed. In the previous and upcoming blogs, an honest and detailed attempt has been made to answer these questions and many other queries related to them.


Interviews are an integral part of the selection process of candidates for employment, admission, the grant of scholarships, and fellowship. An interview is a formal affair, a meaning at which a prospective employee, student, or awardee of a fellowship is asked questions in order to find out whether the candidate is suitable for a job, studentship or scholarship. In another sense, it is also an occasion when a well-known person is asked questions about his life, experiences, ideas, ideals, concepts, current affairs, political and other problems, social reform, cultural developments, etc; for a newspaper, magazine, radio and TV program.

But here we are primarily concerned with the interview in the former sense only. An interview is a significant and serious affair after the success in written and/or skill tests. It is a final stage and step in the process of selection and appointment. Obviously, it is two-way traffic in which ideas are exchanged, questions asked and answered and an individual's personality is put to test by experts, knowledgeable persons and employers
