Q1- Pre-defined standards of organizations keep the candidates away from
showing their real abilities during interview. Give only FIVE bulleted points
to comment on the given statement. (5)
A well-structured job interview process takes place at multiple levels.
A telephonic screening round will usually precede an actual face-to-face interview.
This allows the employer of human resources expert to establish the
candidate’s overall capabilities and motivation. If a candidate passes this
round, he or she may attend a personal interview with the HR personnel.
The candidate may face a single interviewer or an interviewing board, consisting of
two or more company representatives. These will question the candidate on
various different aspects of his or her professional life, career aspirations and
overall ability. The gravity, complexity and difficulty of a job interview
depend largely on the job for which the candidate has applied. ‘Blue collar’
or functional job interviews are generally less demanding than ‘white collar’
or executive job interviews. Accordingly, everything from dress code and the
candidate’s overall presentation have different bearings on the job
interview’s outcome.
In certain artistically oriented professions, job interviews can also include a form of
audition. The candidate is required to display physically his or her skills in
that particular profession. Apart from that, the candidate will also have to
prove sufficient professional training in the field
.Often, parts of the interview may seem to have little or no bearing on the job in
question. The behavioral aspects of a job interview seek to establish the
candidate’s ability to tackle difficult situations.
They also focus on the candidate’s ability to take personal decisions, shoulder
responsibility, handle or interact with a team and effectively represent the
employer’s company.Nowadays, there is increased emphasis on pre-interview
preparation. This is especially true in the case of selection procedures in business
schools and high-end business jobs. By studying the requirements of such interviews
beforehand, a candidate can greatly increase his or her chances of selection.
