EX.NO: INTERVIEW SKILLS DATE:

An interview is a psychological and sociological instrument; it is an interaction between two or more persons for a specific purpose, in which the interviewer asks the interviewee specific questions in order to assess his suitability for recruitment, admission, or promotion, or for an opinion.

Types of Interviews:

Job Information Persuasive Exit Evaluation Counseling Conflict-resolution Disciplinary Termination

Job Interviews:

Here, the candidate wants to learn about the position and organization; the employer wants to learn about the applicant’s abilities and experiences.

Information Interviews:

The interviewer seeks facts that bear on a decision or contribute to basic understanding.

Persuasive Interviews:

One person tells another about a new idea, product, or service and explains why another should act on his or her recommendations.

Exit Interviews:

The interviewer tries to understand why the interviewee is leaving the organization or transferring to another department or division.

Evaluation Interviews:

A supervisor periodically gives an employee feedback on his or her performance.

Counseling Interviews:

A supervisor talks with an employee about the personal problems that are interfering with work performance. The interviewer is concerned with the welfare of both the employee and the organization.

Conflict-Resolution Interviews:

This is between two competing people or groups of people with opposing points of view. The goal is to bring the two parties closer together, cause adjustments in perceptions and attitudes, and create a more productive climate.

Disciplinary Interviews:

A supervisor tries to correct the behaviour of an employee who has ignored the organization’s rules and regulations.

Termination Interviews:

A supervisor informs an employee of the reasons for the termination of the latter’s job.

Objectives:

To recognize the importance of preparing for an interview and to be able to identify and understand the necessary pre-interviewing procedures.

To be aware of the appropriate interviewing behaviour. To identify and understand the appropriate post-interviewing procedures.

ACTIVITIES BEFORE THE INTERVIEW:

1. Know your employer:

What does the organization make or what type of service does it produce? What is the size of the organization? What is its organizational structure? Who is the organizations officers, administrators, etc.?

2. Know Yourself:

Evaluate yourself in terms of your strengths. Be ready to talk about your career objectives, your long and short range

goals and your interests. Be prepared to tell an employer why you should be hired.

3. Communicate Effectively:

To improve communication skills practice before the interview. To use enthusiastic note coupled with your normal tone. To avoid memorizing and let it be a natural flow of words. To avoid speaking too softly.

POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED:

Be on time. Dress like a professional if seeking a professional position. Women: Wear a simply tailored dress, wear conservative nail polish

and lip stick with a neat hairdo and a moderate use of perfume and make-up.

Men: Wear a clean pressed and non-flashy shirt and tie, have your shoes shined, have your hair neatly trimmed and avoid gaudy or flashy jewellery.

INTERVIEW SITUATION:

The employer is looking for the way you handle yourself.

BREAKING THE ICE:

Be ready to face any situation.

AVOID SIX COMMON INTERVIEW MISTAKES:

Don’t discuss pay too early. Talk tech to techies only. Keep your philosophy to yourself. Do not ask about opportunities for advancement until the second or third

interview. Avoid the dreaded ectronic interruption. Remember to say thank you.

APPLICANTS’ QUESTIONS:

What kind of training do you provide? How long is the training period? What is the normal progression of a trainer over the first few years? How much travel is involved in this position? Do you encourage continuing education in the local colleges? What options do I have in selecting assignments? What staff development programs are available after the initial training?

TEN STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL INTERVIEW:

Arrive on time. Introduce yourself in a courteous manner. Read company materials while you wait. Have a firm handshake. Be receptive and observe keenly. Use body language to show interest. Smile, nod, and give non-verbal feedback to the interviewer. Ask about the next step in the process. Thank the interviewer. Write a thank-you letter to anyone you have spoken to.
