The “interview” is bringing about verbal interchange (Ritchie and Lewis, 2003: Gillham, 2000) and as such its efficiency is deeply influenced by the communication expertise of the interviewer (Clough, 2002). It comprises of the skill to visibly construct questions (Cohen et al., 2007); listening attentively (Clough, 2002), fittingly pause, inquire or prompt (Ritchie and Lewis, 2003); and inspires the interviewee to talk liberally, as mentioned by Clough (2002), “Make it easy for interviewees to respond”. According to Opie (2004), there is a lot of significance of interactive skills such as the aptitude to create affinity conceivably with humour and modesty; drawing attention to the interpersonal trait and reliance that is desirable among participants. …show more content…
While being easy to record (video / audio tapes), this type of interview is particularly useful for exploring the views of a person towards attitudes, values, beliefs, and motives which could be good in sensitive areas (Gillman, 2000). Likewise, positive relationship can be built through semi- structured interview technique between the interviewer and the interviewee while facilitating in getting answers of every question asked; detailed and in depth viewpoints of people to be interviewed, the meaningful answers can be obtained as the interviewees may be able to reveal information and express their opinion with minute direction from the interviewer (Patton, …show more content…
Data triangulation approach determines the internal validity concerns by means of using more than one data collection technique to answer research question (Barbour, 2001). However, as described by Barbour (2001), proper implementation of data triangulation is a challenging task since there are various forms of collected data using diverse techniques that confront direct
Interviews are very popular among most individuals especially researchers and scholars as they attempt to obtain information and data from an interviewee. However, there are many factors that influence the interview and which determines its success or failure. Often, the interviewer takes charge of the situation, and they have the sole responsibility of asking the questions while the interviewee provides an explanation or an answer to the question asked. As a result, an interview can be defined as a consultation or a discussion in person through which information and data are exchanged regarding a particular phenomenon event with the intention of establishing the interviewee’s position.

There are many aspects that make up a successful interview or interrogation. An investigator does not become a skilled interviewer or interrogator over night. Training and experience are vital to becoming skilled at interviewing and interrogation. Experience is the best teacher, conducting interviews and interrogations is the only way to become more skilled. In this paper I will explain all the aspects that make up a successful interview. I will also explain the difference between an interview and an interrogation.
To inspire and influence others, a leader must possess many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Peter Northouse, states, “a leader should be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant” (Northouse, 2013) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.
The selected candidates would be called for the interview process. The interview process would involve the task to find out about the previous experience, and to explain about the working ethos and to know the technical know how about the candidate in the form of a structural interview. The HR will plan and decide on the structured questions to be interviewed for the candidates. The interview will also be about the group dynamic of working as a team and getting referrals from the previous workers about the candidates on the working habits and his conduct and character. The candidates will be asked about why he/she thinks that they are the most appropriate candidates to be selected. The candidate will be assessed of his/her confidence to taking up the job from this question and assessed to know about them from a personal, professional qualification that stands out for him to be most suitable for the job. Then the candidate would be asked about what they would offer to the company or job if they were appointed. This brings out their experience to the company from the professional point of view and the technical knowhow of the candidate that is required for the particular job. Then the question is to assess the biggest strength of the candidate and the weakness of the candidates. These questions would be to assess the candidates for the communication skills with the recruiting personnel so that they could have a better understanding of the person and if it is appropriate to appoint him /her to the company (www.jobsearch.about.com).
When conducting an interview, there are several steps that should be taken into consideration. From the minute that you meet the interviewee, an opinion is made of the overall mood for the interview. Therefore, it is important to start the interviewing process off on a positive note. The interview is the first interaction with a company. As the interviewer, you are acting as the “face” of the company – displaying a positive impression of the company allowing for positive reviews and feedback on the company. As the interviewer, you are classified as the individual to establish rapport. It is essential to start off an interview with a warm, friendly introduction by greeting the interviewee
Main purpose of this paper is to critically analyse Kvale`s conclusion on “there is no correct or ideal interview form...” (Kvale 2007, p.77). While analysing Kvale`s argument, this paper highlights on various forms of qu...
Building rapport with the respondent is usually easiest in this setting. The interviewer asks each respondent the same series of questions. The questions are created prior to the interview, and often have a limited set of response categories. There is generally little room for variation in responses and there are few open-ended questions included in the interview guide. Questioning is standardized and the ordering and phrasing of the questions are kept consistent from interview to interview. The researcher plays a neutral role and acts casual and friendly, but does not insert their opinion in the
Interviews are considered a key method for collecting rich data through interaction with individuals in human and social research, especially in qualitative field (Bernard, 2011; Brinkmann, 2014; Brinkmann & Kvale, 2015; Seidman, 2012; Weiss, 1995). According to Patton (2015) “interviews are open-ended questions and probes yield in-depth response about people’s experiences, perceptions, opinions, feelings, and knowledge” (p 14). In other words, interviews provide insights about participants’ own believes, experiences through social interaction to build more knowledge and understanding about individuals’ behaviors and actions. Brinkmann (2014) identified three kinds of interviews: 1) structured, 2) semi-structured, and 3) unstructured
There are two principal types of structured interviews namely situational and behavioral based. Situational interviews assess an applicant’s ability to project what his or her behavior would be in future through speculative situations.The presumption behind the use of the a situational interview is that the goals or intentions individuals set for themselves are good predictors of what they will do in the future (Russell, 2006).

Conducting a successful interview can be easy for both the interviewee and interviewer when all participants understand the reason and goal
Establishing rapport with the interviewee is essential. In order to create a comfortable environment, it is necessary for the interviewer to be a good listener (Alshenqeeti, 2014). In addition, Rabionet (2011) suggests that, “When (you are) introducing yourself, the protocol should include statements of confidentiality, consent, options to withdraw, and use and scope of the results”. However, establishing rapport can deliver the interviewer with a ‘dilemma’¬¬¬– on one
Communication is a very important issue, which plays a significant role in life of all people. It allows us to connect with other human beings. Communication is a kind of art, because you have to be able understand the person you relate to as well as understand what you want to say in order to convey the meaning you are trying to express. Another important issue is to understand, to whom you are talking (Vangelisti, 2008). I did not have to ponder over while choosing a partner to have an interview with; I knew from the very beginning that it would be my brother.
