A job interview is a process in which a potential employee is evaluated by an employer for prospective employment in their company, organization, or firm. During this process, the employer hopes to determine whether or not the applicant is suitable for the job.

Role

A job interview typically precedes the hiring decision, and is used to evaluate the candidate. The interview is usually preceded by the evaluation of submitted résumés from interested candidates, then selecting a small number of candidates for interviews. Potential job interview opportunities also include networking events and career fairs. The job interview is considered one of the most useful tools for evaluating potential employees. It also demands significant resources from the employer, yet has been demonstrated to be notoriously unreliable in identifying the optimal person for the job. An interview also allows the candidate to assess the corporate culture and demands of the job.

Multiple rounds of job interviews may be used where there are many candidates or the job is particularly challenging or desirable. Earlier rounds may involve fewer staff from the employers and will typically be much shorter and less in-depth. A common initial interview form is the phone interview, a job interview conducted over the telephone. This is especially common when the candidates do not live near the employer and has the advantage of keeping costs low for both sides.

Once all candidates have been interviewed, the employer typically selects the most desirable candidate and begins the negotiation of a job offer.

How to dress for a job interview at bank?
Q. I have a job interview for a management position. I am currently employed by the same ban, as an assistant manager. It will be a panel interview, with three people. I already met two of the interviewers a few times. I am planning to wear a suit with skirt. It is gray, with faded dark pink strips. It looks very professional, but what is concerning me, is the pink strips. Do you think it is OK to wear this outfit, or I should think of something else?

A. Dress like a banker. In a suit that brings out the strengths of your personality, is professional, sophisticated, etc. Your choice sounds fabulous. Go for it. Good Luck!

What would you do in this hypothetical job interview question?
Q. You are driving home from work one day and it is raining heavily, you drive past a bus stop and there are 3 people waiting in the rain. The girl of your dreams, your best friend that once saved your life, and an old women who has just got out of hospital. There is only one seat in your car, which one do you help?
