Advantages of a Job Interviews
A job interview, a formal meeting between the employer and the applicant, is an effective way for the interviewer to know about the applicant and the interviewee to know about the job he is applying for. It is advantageous to both the interviewer and the interviewee.
The interviewer, in a job interview, usually offers detailed information about the job under discussion, such as the nature of the job, the working condition, the requirements for the applicant, and the payment for the job. At the same time, he can see with his own eyes the interviewee’s appearance, manner, character, educational background etc. This can surely help him make a proper judgment on whether the interviewee is fit for the job or not.
As far as the interviewee is concerned, a job interview provides him with a good chance to display his merits. For example, he can exhibit his competence and self-confidence through his knowledge, show his sincerity and enthusiasm for work with his previous experience, and demonstrate his understanding of the job and an ability in meeting these requirements. This may give the interviewer a good impression, which, in turn, will increase his chance of getting the job.
