Applying for a Job.
Going through an Interview.
An interview
What is an interview?
An interviewing is a mutual exchange of information. It is an opportunity to give an
applicant as much information about the job as possible so that they can decide whether
or not they want to take it if it is offered.
An interview can be described as a planned discussion with a specific purpose.
How does a selection interview differ from a conversation, a chat about a job?
A business manager needs to gather information that provides evidence about
applicant's ability to do the job, and to fit in with the work team.
A company wants people who accept job to be motivated to work for the business.
Treating them with respect is important. It is also important that all applicants see the
process handled as legal, fair and just.
Reliability of interviews
Interviewing is a very inexact procedure. Different interviewers given exactly the
same information will form very different opinions of the same candidate.
Different managers will select different candidates for a job and set out elaborate
arguments to justify their decisions. Some interesting conclusions are as follows:
Interviewer's first impressions derive from the application form, and from their first
sight of the interviewee. Evidence shows that they rarely change their opinion.
Interviewers make their decision about a candidate in first few minutes of the
interview and they spend the rest of the interview gathering evidence to support their
early decision.
Most interviewers look for reasons why candidates are not suitable more than they
look for evidence that they are suitable.
If an interviewer has made an early decision, this is communicated to the candidate's
body language, and the interviewee must respond accordingly.
Despite this, interviewing is still the most common selection technique used by
business today.
