2. WHAT IS AN INTERVIEW?
• The interview is a formal meeting between two people
(Interviewer and interviewee).
• interview is conducted to ask questions and obtain
information from the interviewee.
• An Interviewer is the one who asks questions and an
interviewee is who answers the questions.
3. WHY IS AN INTERVIEW CONDUCTED?
• In organizations or companies, interviews are generally conducted to test the
interviewee, check their domain knowledge, examine their skills, scrutinize their
behavior and attitude, and many other aspects that are required to fulfill
organizational needs.
• Using an interview is the best way to have an accurate and thorough
communication of ideas between you and the person from whom you're
gathering information.
4. WHY INTERVIEW IS IMPORTANT?
• The interviews are important because they help the experts know who is efficient
and who is not.
• Not just this, but also you get to know the other different traits of the applicants,
thus helping in judging better who will be able to be good in the particular field.
5. REASONS TO CONDUCT AN INTERVIEW
1. The assessmentof the employees:
• The employees are assessed through the process of interview and that
assessment is considered one of the best ways to know one’s potential.
• So, this is one of the reasons why the assessment of the employees is essential
through the interview process.
6. 2. No other procedure:
• There is no other selective procedure better than the interviews. So, this is the
reason interviews form a vital part in the selection process.
• It is one thing which helps in linking the interviewee and the interviewer.
7. 3. It forms a bridge betweenthe senderand thereceiver:
• The process of interview acts as a bridge as it conveys what the sender has to
communicate while the receiver gets to know about the sender. So, it bridges all
sorts of gaps.
8. 4. Speaking skills:
• The person can be evaluated well by the manner he or she communicates. Their
good speaking skills obviously cannot be known through their writing, but
through the way one utters.
• So, this is also one of the reasons of knowing the importance of the interviews
during the recruiting process.
9. • 5. Checkthe confidence level:
• An individual may have to present in front of other people in the office and if he
or she comes out to be shy and less confident, then it won’t do any good to the
company.
• So, to know whether a person is able to speak up in front of a number of people,
the interviews are conducted.
10. 6.Social behaviouris analyzed:
• Another benefit of taking interviews is that the social behaviour of the individual
is analyzed.
• When a person speaks, his body language, the words he or she make use are
assessed and the basic etiquette are counted.
11. 7. The body language and the smartness of the individual:
• How smart is the person and also how he or she presents himself in front of others i.e
the body language of the person is witnessed through the process of interview.
13. FORMAL AND INFORMAL INTERVIEW
• Formal interviews are well-planned interviews, the questions are prepared in
advance, and the time, date, venue, dress code, everything is decided prior to
the interview.
Whereas, Informal interviews are not well-planned and the questions are random
and generic. The communication between both is also casual as compared to
formal interviews.
14. SEQUENTIAL AND PANEL INTERVIEW
• Sequential interviews consist of several interviews. Here in this kind of interview,
the same set of questions are asked repeatedly by several interviewers to check
if the interviewee answers in the same manner or not.
• In Panel Interview, several interviewers are sitting to ask questions to the
interviewee. This type of interview mainly consists in Public Sector.
15. GROUP INTERVIEW
• Group Interviews are where many interviewees
participate in the interview. Usually, it is termed as
applicant pool and it happens during college or
university placements.
• In group interviews, many interviewees are evaluated
and few are selected amongst all.
16. SITUATIONAL INTERVIEW
• In this kind of interview, a situation or a problem is kept front of the interviewee
and interviewers ask them how they will deal with it and what will be the solution
for it.
• Through this interview, they evaluated how well they will manage problems in an
organization and how proactive they are in taking decisions in such situations.
17. PHONE OR VIDEO CALL INTERVIEW
• This interview will be performed on the Phone call (Telephonic round) or Video
Call.
• In the current pandemic, we have witnessed how interviewers were taking place
on video calls. And this type of interview was majorly focused on during the
covid-19 situation.
19. 1. InformationalInterview
• In an informational interview the objective is to seek advice and learn more
about a particular employer, sector or job.
• Interviewing experts in their field is one more way to add to your employment
knowledge base.
• As a result, gaining this information means you are more prepared. It is also an
excellent way of networking and adding to your contacts.
20. 2. Behavioral-BasedInterview
• Known as Critical Behavioral Interviewing (CBI), the theory is that past
performance in a similar situation is the best predictor of future performance.
• This method of interview probes much deeper than the usual interviewing
techniques.
• Have specific examples ready that highlight your attributes in core areas such as
teamwork, problem-solving, communication, creativity, flexibility and
organisational skills.
21. 3. TaskOrientedor TestingInterview
• These types of interviews are structured in a way that allows you to
demonstrate your creative and analytical abilities in problem solving through
varied tasks or exercises.
• It may include a short test to evaluate your technical knowledge and skills.
• Other tasks can be delivering a presentation to a group to determine your
communication skills. Relaxing is key!
22. 4. StressInterview
• This method of interview is rare and involves the interviewer baiting you to see
your response. The aim is to highlight your weaknesses and see how you react
under pressure.
• Tactics can vary from constant interruptions and odd silences to provoking and
challenging interrogation-type questions used to push you to your limits.
24. • Dress appropriately for the industry; err on the side of being conservative to show you
take the interview seriously. Your personal grooming and cleanliness should be
impeccable.
• Know the exact time and location of your interview; know how long it takes to get there,
park, find a rest room to freshen up, etc.
• Arrive early; 10 minutes prior to the interview start time [or earlier if the event or
employer instructs you to do so].
DO’S:
25. • Treat other people you encounter with courtesy and respect. Their opinions of
you might be solicited during hiring decisions.
• Offer a firm handshake, make eye contact, and have a friendly expression when
you are greeted by your interviewer.
• Listen to be sure you understand your interviewer's name and the correct
pronunciation.
26. • Maintain good eye contact during the interview.
• Sit still in your seat; avoid fidgeting and slouching.
• Respond to questions and back up your statements about yourself with specific
examples whenever possible.
27. • Ask for clarification if you don't understand a question.
• Be thorough in your responses, while being concise in your wording.
• Be honest and be yourself — your best professional self.
• Exhibit a positive attitude.
28. • When the interviewer concludes the interview, offer a firm handshake and make
eye contact. Depart gracefully.
• After the interview, make notes right away so you don't forget critical details.
• Write a thank-you letter to your interviewer promptly.
29. DON’T’S:
• Don't make excuses. Take responsibility for your decisions and your actions.
• Don't make negative comments about previous employers or professors (or
others).
• Don't falsify application materials or answers to interview questions.
30. • Don't treat the interview casually, as if you are just shopping around or doing the
interview for practice. This is an insult to the interviewer and to the organization.
• Don't give the impression that you are only interested in an organization
because of its geographic location.
• Don't give the impression you are only interested in salary; don't ask about
salary and benefits issues until the subject is brought up by the employer.
31. • Don't act as though you would take any job or are desperate for employment.
• Don't make the interviewer guess what type of work you are interested in; it is
not the interviewer's job to act as a career advisor to you.
• Don't be unprepared for typical interview questions. You may not be asked all of
them in every interview, but being unprepared will not help you.
32. • A job search can be hard work and involve frustrations; don't exhibit frustrations
or a negative attitude in an interview.
• Don't go to extremes with your posture; don't slouch, and don't sit rigidly on the
edge of your chair.
• Don't allow your cell phone to sound during the interview. If it does, apologize
quickly and ignore it. Don't take a cell phone call. Don't look at a text message.
