What is an Interview? A job interview is a process in which a candidate is evaluated by employers for prospective employment in their company, organization or firm. It is a platform used to determine whether the candidate is suitable for a particular profile/position by assessing if he/she possesses the required skill set and the motivation to work in the organization. An interview can be scary when you don‟t know what lies ahead. The duration of an interview can range anywhere from ten minutes to one hour, but it is typically about 30 minutes long. It begins with greetings and basic personal questions where the interviewer gets to know you. This is followed by a discussion of your credentials where the interviewer evaluates you. The interview is concluded by the interviewer discussing the next steps. The entire interview process is carried out as a series of rounds, which consist of one or more technical rounds and an HR round. However, some companies choose to have only technical rounds.
