Interviewing is a communicative process aimed at obtaining information, often in a structured manner, through a series of question-and-answer interactions between two or more individuals. It is a systematic method of gathering relevant data and insights, primarily used in journalism, research, recruitment, and investigative contexts.
In journalism, interviewing involves gathering information from various sources to craft news articles, reports, or investigations. It often includes conducting face-to-face or phone interviews with individuals relevant to a particular story, seeking their perspectives and opinions to provide a comprehensive account.
Research interviewing refers to the systematic collection of data from participants to gain insights into a specific research question or to validate specific hypotheses. Researchers employ various interview techniques, such as structured, semi-structured, or unstructured interviews, based on their research goals.
In the recruitment process, interviewing is a common tool used by employers to assess the qualifications, skills, and competencies of potential candidates. Job interviews enable employers to evaluate applicants' suitability for a position, explore their background and experience, and assess their compatibility with the organizational culture.
Overall, interviewing serves as a vital information-gathering tool in multiple domains, facilitating the exchange of knowledge, opinions, and experiences. These interactions aim to elicit detailed responses, provide clarity, and enable deeper understanding through a well-framed dialogue. Effective interviewing requires active listening, effective questioning techniques, and the ability to interpret and analyze responses accurately.

The word "interviewing" comes from the Middle French word "entrevue", which derives from the Old French term "entrevee". "Entre" means "between" in French, and "vee" comes from "voir" meaning "to see". Therefore, "entrevee" originally referred to a meeting or encounter between two or more people. The English term "interview" developed in the 16th century and later expanded to include the concept of asking questions in a systematic manner to gather information or conduct assessments. The gerund form "interviewing" evolved to describe the action or process of conducting an interview.
