INTERVIEWS

The employer’s aim is to know whether the applicant can be of service to his company, and the applicant’s aim is to be find out whether the job being offered by the company can be suitable to him.
An interview is a means of two-way communication.
Some basic techniques of interview:
1. Screening: Since the number of applications for any job is very large, several firms screen the applications to weed out unsuitable candidates.
2. Random Appearance: Some interviewers still believe that the man is more important than the application. They want to judge a man by his personal appearance rather than the basis of his application. So they call every applicant for interview.
3. Tests: These days a number of firms resort to tests, written or oral, designed to judge the candidates’ intelligence, GK, proficiency in language, etc.
4. Experience: Some employers believe that practical experience is more important than paper qualifications.
5. Under-stress interview: This is a special technique to ascertain how a candidate will acquit himself under conditions of exceptional stress and strain.

3. Prepare for the questions: Anticipate the questions that you will probably be asked and prepare answers to them. You will be asked questions about your interests, hobbies, achievements, prospects, relationship with your friends, and leadership qualities, etc., Don’t lie.
4. Prepare the questions that you would like to ask: If the interviewer doesn’t offer you full information about the company and the job, you can ask questions to gain the information. These questions might relate to formal training, promotional avenues, fringe benefits, etc.,
