Mastering the Art of Giving
Interview
Job interviews represent one of the most
important parts of the job hunting process,
and regardless of how many you have
had so far, they never seem to get any easier.
Finding the optimal balance between selling
your skills, meeting new people and
being enthusiastic can take its toll,
even on the most seasoned of candidates.
What is an Interview?
When you split the word ‘interview’ you get
two words, ‘inter’ and ‘view’.
People involved in an interview: Usually
two groups or two individuals sit facing each
other in an interview. The person asking
questions is the interviewer and the person
answering the questions is the interviewee.
 It helps to verify the information provided
by the candidate.
 It helps to ascertain the accuracy of the provided
facts and information about the candidate.
 What the candidate has written in the resume are the main
points. What other additional skill set does he have.
 It not only gives the interviewer information about the
candidate’s technical knowledge but also gives an
insight information of creative and analytical skills.
 It helps in establishing the mutual relation
between the employee and the company.
General Interview Tell me about yourself.
Answer this question as if the interviewer has asked, “Why are you
here today?”. Present your significant professional and academic
qualities for the position. Do not include personal information such
as your age. Be concise.
Informal or conversational interview: In the conversational interview, no
predetermined questions are asked, in order to remain as open and
adaptable a possible to the interviewee’s nature and priorities; during the
interview, the interviewer goes with the flow
Stress Interview It is designed to place the
interviewee in a stress situation in order to observe
the interviewees reaction.
Disciplinary interview: Disciplinary interviews are occurring
when an employee has been accused of breaching the
organization’s rules and procedures.
Counseling interview:This may be arranged to find out what has been
troubling the workers and why someone has not been working.
Evaluation interview:This is an interview which takes place annually to
review the progress of the employee is called the evaluation interviews.
Naturally, it is occurring between superiors and subordinates.The main
objective of this interview is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of
the employees.
Unstructured interviewWhen the interview does not follow the formal
rules or procedures. It is called an unstructured interview.The discussion
will probably be free-flowing and may shift rapidly form on the subject to
another depending on the interests of the interviewee and the interviewer.
Structured interview: Structured interviews follow formal procedures
predetermined with an agenda or questions.
Standardized or open-ended interview: Here the same open-ended
questions are asked to all interviewees; this approach facilitates faster
interviews faster interviews that can be more easily analyzed and compared.
Closed or fixed-response interview:This is a interview where interviewers
ask the same questions and interviewee is asked to choose answers from
the same set of alternatives.This format is useful for those who have not
practiced in interviewing.
Before we dive right in, there are three
core goals you should keep in mind while
job hunting:
PREPARATION IS KEY.
Do your research
The first step in preparing for the
interview is researching the
requirements for the role and outlining
Three main skills that the employer is
looking for
Illustrate your work
Use every opportunity to showcase
the fact that you are professional
and detail oriented individual: bring
handouts to an interview such as
copies of your CV for each
interviewer.
Prepare for potential questions
What is your greatest weakness?
The key to answering this is to focus on non essential
skills.
Answers such as “I’m a perfectionist” or “I work too
hard” sound, at best, insincere.
Top tip: Always put a positive spin on an answer.
Make sure you research common interview questions
and answers before the interview,
and prepare a few bullet points that can guide you
throughout the process.
Interview your interviewer
Many candidates do not realize that an interview is a two-
way street:
if the position is a right fit for yourself. At the end of an
interview,
when you are asked if you have any questions,
taking out your notebook with three handwritten queries
gives them the impression that you are serious and
genuinely interested in the role.
• What is your ideal candidate?
• What’s the best thing about working at
your organization?
• What are the measures used to judge how successful I
am in the role?
Thank them for the opportunity
A fantastic way to distinguish yourself
from other candidates is to write a well
crafted thank you e-mail, or send them a
thank you card right after the interview.
This elegant touch shows that you are
attentive and eager to fill the role.
