Interview
An interview is the structured conversation where one participant asks questions, as well as the other gives answers. In common parlance, the word "interview" talked to a one-on-one conversation between an interviewer & an interviewee. The interviewer asks questions to which the interviewee responds, usually providing information. That information may be used or proposed to other audiences immediately or later. This feature is common to many family of interviews – a job interview or interview with a witness to an event may draw no other audience shown at the time, but the answers will be later provided to others in the employment or investigative process. An interview may also transfer information in both directions.
Interviews usually have place face-to-face and in adult but the parties may instead be separated geographically, as in videoconferencing or telephone interviews. Interviews near always involve spoken conversation between two or more parties. In some instances a "conversation" can happen between two persons who type their questions and answers.
Interviews can be unstructured, free-wheeling and open-ended conversations without predetermined schedule or prearranged questions. One form of unstructured interview is a focused interview in which the interviewer consciously and consistently guides the conversation so that the interviewee's responses do non stray from the main research topic or idea. Interviews can also be highly structured conversations in which specific questions arise in a talked order. They can follow diverse formats; for example, in a ladder interview, a respondent's answers typically guide subsequent interviews, with the object being to analyse a respondent's subconscious motives. Typically the interviewer has some way of recording the information that is gleaned from the interviewee, often by keeping notes with a pencil and paper, or with a video or audio recorder. Interviews usually have a limited duration, with a beginning and an ending.
The traditionally two-person interview format, sometimes called a one-on-one interview, enable direct questions and follow-ups, which enables an interviewer to better gauge the accuracy and relevance of responses. it is a flexible arrangement in the sense that subsequent questions can be tailored to clarify earlier answers. Further, it eliminates possible distortion due to other parties being present.
Face to face interviewing helps both parties to interact and form a connection, and understand the other. Further, face to face interview sessions can be more enjoyable.
