INTERVIEW Meaning and Definition

1. An interview refers to a formal interaction between two or more individuals, typically conducted in a question-and-answer format, with the purpose of gathering information, evaluating knowledge or suitability, and discussing particular topics or objectives. It involves one person, known as an interviewer, posing questions and another person, known as an interviewee, providing responses or opinions.

   Interviews often serve various aims, including employment selection, media reporting, research data collection, or information gathering. In the context of employment, an interview is an essential part of the recruitment process. It allows employers to evaluate the qualifications, skills, experiences, and attributes of candidates to determine their suitability for a specific job position. Job interviews may be conducted sequentially with multiple rounds, involving different interviewers or panels.

   An interview can take various forms, such as face-to-face meetings, phone calls, video conferences, or even written correspondence. Generally, interviews follow a structured or semi-structured approach with predetermined questions, allowing a systematic assessment of candidates. However, interviews can also be unstructured and conversational, allowing for more spontaneous and open-ended responses.

   Effective interviewing techniques involve active listening, effective communication skills, empathy, and the ability to ask relevant, thought-provoking questions. Additionally, interviews may include behavioral-based questions that require candidates to provide examples of past experiences or hypothetical situations to gauge their problem-solving abilities and decision-making skills.

   Overall, an interview is a purposeful conversation that facilitates the exchange of information and ideas, enabling one party to assess, evaluate, and make informed decisions based on the responses and interactions.

2. A formal or appointed meeting; a conference.

Etymology of INTERVIEW

The word "interview" originates from medieval Latin "intervidere", which is a combination of the prefix "inter-" meaning "between" or "among", and the verb "videre" meaning "to see". The French term "entrevue" emerged from "intervidere", and it gained popularity in English during the 16th century. Over time, "entrevue" transformed into "interview", retaining its original meaning of a meeting or encounter between individuals.
