what is a interview ? Interview is a selection technique that enables an interviewer to view the totality of an applicant and to appraise him and his behavior. It consists of face-to-face interaction between the interviewer and the applicant. However in some kind of interview like telephonic interview, face-to-face interaction does not take place but this type of interview is not conducted in the case of freshers. Organizations use interview as a selection technique to solicit accurate information and relevant details about an applicant which might not be available otherwise. |

From the organizations’ point of view, interview serves the following purposes: 1. An interview what is the only method of direct contact between the candidate and the employer in which the employer can see a candidate in action – how he looks, his manners, wearing, appearance, pattern of interaction, etc. 2. The employer can solicit many of the information about a candidate which might not be available otherwise like his approach towards his work, level of aspiration, future plans, etc. 3. An organization may use interview as a tool for giving information about itself, its policies, nature of work to be performed by the candidate, and other relevant information in which a candidate may be interested. 4. In those organizations where job salary and monetary benefits are not fixed in advance but are linked to a candidate’s skills, known as skill-based pay, salary and other monetary benefits can be negotiated between the employer and the candidate. Thus, in the total selection process, interview is the most important element. This is the reason why most of the organizations rely on this method for selecting the suitable candidates for employment.
