An interview is any planned and control conversation between two or more people which has a purpose for at least one of the participants (i.e. the interviewer or interviewee) and during which both speak and listen form time to time. We sometimes take part in interviews which leads to waste of time and ineffectiveness, unsatisfactory results or merely meandering chats precisely because no one seem to be too clear exactly about the purpose of the interview. For an interview to be effective, it has to have a:
– Purpose
– Planning and
– Controlled interaction
Whether you are likely to be the interviewer or the interviewee, it is always a great deal about the art of being interviewed by learning how to interview.
