Excerpts from my book : Interview : A Meeting of Two Minds
An interview is defined as a
meeting of two or more persons face to face in connection with a specific or
set of jobs. It also entails an interview conducted by the reporters and for
many other purposes. Whenever we think of the term ‘interview’, what
immediately comes to mind is the job interview. So, naturally this topic has
been discussed in due details in this book and has formed a major chunk. Besides, we have made a solemn endeavour to
include various other kinds of useful interviews which we have to face in our
day to day life.
There are many occasions when we have to appear in an
interview all of a sudden, such as coming face to face with a surveyor,
journalist or a team gathering data regarding any subject of study. If you
watch television and see the reaction of the people when interviewed, in many
cases the interviewee appears to be a clown. He stutters and finds that he has
not appropriate words to express his feelings. But if we look closely, we can
find that they are not aware of the basic rules of interviewing and being interviewed.
And they happen to speak whatever comes to mind at the moment, and terribly
making a laughing stock of themselves.
TIPS
On How to Mess up Things in an Interview :
* Let emotions overflow.
* Awaken to your position and status at work.
* Asking right questions! what it is.
* It takes time to analyse. Jump on conclusions.
* You may not meet the other person in future. Then what the need to
listen to him is!
