INTERVIEW TEMPLATE
The four segments of an interview are:
- Opening (makes the applicant comfortable; speak about the organization and the job).
The first three minutes will determine the tone of the interview.
- Body (asks background, situational, and job interest questions; discuss employment
conditions; clarify resume information)
- Closing (give applicant an opportunity to ask questions about the organization, job
benefits, and advancement opportunities; tell the applicant when a decision will be made,
and establish how soon the applicant could report for work, if selected)
- Evaluation Period (the individual conducting the interview prepares a summary of
the interview along with his or her observations).
ASK JOB APPLICANTS ONLY FOR INFORMATION THAT IS DIRECTLY
RELATED TO THE ABILITY TO PERFORM THE JOB.
