JOB INTERVIEW 3

 During the first decade of this century, I attended an interview in a pharmaceutical company for Fun. At the preliminary interview by the consultant, I was asked to tell stories about different aspects of my life from Primary School to my current job. During this stage of the interview I was not asked any question relating to my training or specific experience. However, at the final interview where the Managing Director was on seat, work related experience questions were asked. I was offered the job but I turned down the offered because of the turn-over rate of HR Managers in the company. When I asked about the HRM turnover rate, I was informed that it was the failure of the former consultant. When I asked the new consultant what his novel interview method called, he said, it was Behavioral Interview which I confirmed five years later when I became a Certified Behavioral Interviewer.

 Job interview can also be affected by the following:- - Some employers treat job interview as war. - Some other employers treat job interview as inquisition. - Interference by non-professionals makes for the engagement of wrong candidates. - Written examination for experienced hires shows the incompetence of the Recruiter. - The two best job interview methods are Group Selection Interview and Behavioral Interview. - Job interviews that concentrate on knowledge are a failure. - Two most important considerations during interviews should be experience and attitude. - During my active work time, I had two major failures conducting interviews by bowing to higher grade managers. - HR Managers must act as internal consultants to User departments at job interviews. - During the remaining two weeks of July, 2021, I shall share my practical experiences at job interviews.

 A job interview is an interactive forum created by the employer to meet candidates to determine the suitability of establishing an employment relationship. Several things affect either the success or failure of a particular interview. They may include the following:- - The existence or the non-existence of a vacancy. - The qualification of the potential employee. - Preparation and non-preparation of both or either of the parties for the interview. - The attitude of the potential employee. - The terms and conditions of employment being offered by the employer.
