| Overview: The interview is the most crucial procedure in the selection process. In a few brief minutes, it provides us with an opportunity to meet total strangers, introduce ourselves and our companies to them, gather evidence about whether they can do the job, make judgments about how committed they might be, and then decide whether we like them or not. When it works well, the interview has its own momentum. It flows effortlessly, questions arise spontaneously, and the exchange is pleasant. But when it doesn't work, a potentially fruitful relationship lies dead at birth. That is why, for the success of the whole selection procedure, good interview skills are vital for those who want to do well at recruitment. |
