Formal Interview Techniques and Tips

An interview is a formal meeting where information is exchanged between two parties. For a job opening, a business may interview candidates to learn about their backgrounds, skills, and qualifications. The interview is a face-to-face, oral assessment where typically 70% of the time is spent having the candidate talk. Good preparation includes understanding one's own strengths and accomplishments, anticipating common questions, and practicing effective communication skills like maintaining eye contact and good posture. Both the interviewer and candidate should be well prepared to have a productive discussion.
