Why should we give an Interview for job? What's the reason behind it?

Interview

The interview technique:

An interview is the direct method of enquiry that enables the interviewer to assess the personality of the interviewee by posing questions- general and technical- that allow him to exhibit his beaviour in a given situation.

The aims of the interview can be summed up as follows

To get to know candidate’s views: The interviewer exposes the candidate to certain questions in order to guage his ideas, views and knowledge and to determine his suitability for recruitment.

To establish a rapport: A direct contact is established between the interviewer and the candidate so that both may know each other. Understand their respective needs and help the interviewer to perceive the personal disposition of the applicant.

To form a hypothesis: Through the technique of interview the committee or interview board is able to form a hypothesis about the personal qualities of the candidate through initial questions like

“Please tell us in brief about your family background?”

“Why do you consider yourself suitable for this job?

To confirm the hypothesis: After the initial questions, the candidate is exposed to more detailed and planned questions through which the hypothesis established is confirmed and suitability of the candidate determined for the job.

Through an interview one can thus analyze the personality of the candidate- his attitudes, prejudices, likes and dislikes as revealed by his verbal behavior, including the subtle gestures that accompany it such as facial expressions and tone of voice.

The physical and mental qualities of the candidate are also analysed in order to guage his behavior in a particular situation, his perception of a problem and mode of responding to the same. Some qualities/ traits generally assessed include:

General personality traits: Appearance, speech, mannerisms and gesticulation, self confidence, mental alertness, type of approach(positive/negative), leadership qualities etc.

Knowledge and intelligence: Knowledge if his subject, applicability of his subject in day to day life, knowledge about other general subjects, IQ and common sense.

There is no reason to panic if one is lacking in one or more of these qualities. All these can be suitability

developed step by step and one can improve one’s personality in general. We all are born like a blank sheet and all the ideas are written by experience. With the suggestions and model questions given one can easily overcome shortcomings and improve one’s characteristics and personality.
