INTERVIEWING

Abstract

What is an interview? Some would say it is something that occurs very rarely in their experience and is usually connected with education or employment. Others, more reflective or perceptive, might say that for most people hardly a day passes without several interviews: interviews at the ticket booking office, at the cleaners maybe, certainly at work, and this winter very probably with the doctor or the plumber, gas fitter, electrician, coal merchant, insurance inspector. Some would say that an interview takes place every morning at the front door when the post is handed over, as a result of which one householder and one uniformed public servant feel either better or worse than they did before the bell rang.
