What is an interview?

An interview is essentially a structured conversation where one participant asks


questions, and the other provides answers. In common parlance, the word "interview"
refers to a one-on-one conversation between an interviewer and an interviewee. The
interviewer asks questions to which the interviewee responds, usually so information is
offered by the interviewee to interviewer -- and that information may be used or
provided to other audiences, whether in real time or later. This feature is common to
many types of interviews -- a job interview or interview with a witness to an event may
have no other audience present at the time, but the answers will be later provided to
others in the employment or investigative process.
Types of Interviews

● Face-To-Face Interview
● Behavioral Interview
● Personal Interview
● Panel Interview
● Exit interview
● Stress Interview
● Technical Interview
What is personal interview

Personal Interview is the foremost tool to judge the abilities of a person. In the face-to-face
contact between the interviewer to interviewee, it is possible to record more than only verbal
responses; which are often superficial. When human beings communicate directly with each
other, much more information is communicated. The nature of words used, facial expressions &
body-language together contribute in judging a person. According to Meha Bhargava, an Image
Management professional, you must keep the following in mind while going for an interview.
Common Interview Questions

● Tell me about yourself


● Why did you leave your last job?
● What experience do you have in this field?
● Do you consider yourself successful?
● What do co-workers say about you?
● What do you know about this organization?
● What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
● Are you applying for other jobs?
● Why do you want to work for this organization?
● Do you know anyone who works for us?
Do’s and Don'ts of Interviewing

● Do let the interviewee do most of the talking


● Do establish rapport early and maintain it
● Do maintain control over the subject matter
● Do establish a time frame for the interview and stick to it
● Do conclude positively
● Do be polite and courteous.
● Do not assume anything Do not form pre-judgments
● Do ask both open and closed questions
● Do verify understanding through probing and confirming questions
● Do avoid confrontation
Conclusion - Final Tips

● Know the company: You should be pretty well acquainted with the company and the type of work they do. You will
need to do your homework and know something of their corporate culture, internal systems, business history,
annual reports, mission statement etc. You can do this using several resources including company brochures,
pamphlets, annual reports, newsletters and the company Website.
● Confirm important details: Confirm times and arrive at least fifteen minutes early to create a good first impression,
travel to the interview location a day before using the same method of transport to ensure you will be on time and
memorize the name of the interviewer.
● Switch off your mobile: make sure it is switched off during the interview to avoid distractions.
● No wet fish handshakes: Shake hands warmly with a firm grip. Handshakes have a far deeper significance than most
people give credit for.
● Ask questions: At the end of the interview, ask questions. This is your chance to really impress the interviewer with
your research skills about the company and list of planned questions about the role.
● Body language: Don’t smoke, relax, smile, look at people as you speak to them, avoid one word answers, ask
questions if something seems unclear and keep your answers simple and honest.
● Job Offer: Finally: If you accept the job, you have given your word, it is a "Verbal Contract". If you have any doubts,
ask for time to think but give a time within 24 hours by which you will respond, and stick to it.
