Conducting and Evaluating an Interview

I researched the role of the employee to the company. This was going to help in the setting of the interview and conducting of the interview itself. The other thing that helped in the setting of the interview was to research on the ongoing trends with the job sector that was related to the job that I was setting the interview for. This was going to make it easy to ensure that I would be able to ask the right questions and that are concerned and oriented to the job and the job alone (Corfield, 2009). Below is a sample of the interview;

Interviewer: Hello and welcome to the interview!

Interviewee: …

Interviewer: What is your name?

Interviewee:

Interviewer: How does this Job suit you?

Interviewee:

Interviewer: where do you see you self in the coming five years.

Interviewee:

Interviewer: Have you ever had a conflict with a superior or a fellow employee? If yes, what was the conflict about?

Interviewee: (Gordon & Fleisher, 2011)

The interview only took 20 minutes. There was minimal effort in the keeping of the time that had been required. This is because the questions were brief and the interviewee was supposed the minimal time possible to have the interview done. The time was therefore managed and any unnecessary thing that occurred or came up as ignored and focused on the interview as it had been planned.

The clients that were undertaking the interview were always trying to discuss things that were out of the routine completely. They would answer the questions that were asked and make to be a long argument that will consume a lot of time. This mainly happened on the question: have you ever had a conflict with a superior or a fellow employee? If yes, what was the conflict about? They would always try to justify themselves out of the conflict on how it was started.

All the people that were interviewed were comfortable and easily obliged to what they were asked to do. Although this was focused on them to be considered to be always good but it was very welcoming and comfortable.

I was very effective in the probing and the acquiring of the information. This is because the probing was done in a good manner that would make the clients give the truthful and required answers. The mood that was set also proved that it was a very smooth task that would have many positive results.
