Introduction to Job Interviews

                A job interview is a face to face interview between the interviewer and the candidate that applied to the job. The interview is done to evaluate the candidate and to determine if he/she is suitable for this position.

                The job interview is very important in evaluating potential employees and is usually considered the most useful tool to do so. The interviewer usually asks questions that are related to the position that the person is applying for.  During the interview, the interviewer will not only focus on the interviewees’ answers.


                In addition to listening to the interviewees' answers, the interviewer will look at other aspects such as how the interviewee dressed for this occasion (formal or casual), and how he responds to the questions (is the person nervous or is he/she confident when answering the questions). The interviewer will also see if this person makes eyes contact in order determine if he/she is confident or shy; the interviewer will also check the body language of the person being interviewed.

                From the information above, we can easily tell that a job interview requires a lot of work and that it is not an easy process. Both the interviewer and the interviewee need to be prepared for the interview so that they end up with a successful one.
