Do you agree that the job interview should be the primary criterion for selection?? Also what is the most common problem to avoid during interviewing?
The job interview is a crucial part of the selection process for employment. It is the opportunity for the candidate to rise from the resume paper to become a living, breathing person with a personality. The interview gives the candidate a chance to learn about the job and organization. The interview also gives a manger a chance to assess things about a candidate that can’t be obtained from an application, test, or reference, such as the candidate’s ability to communicate and his personality, appearance and motivation.
The job interview allows the organization to evaluate the applicant through the lens of subjective reasoning, even if it means making some educated guesses on possible behavioral patterns. Despite the fact that a personal interview can "make or break" a candidate's chances, there are very few situations where it should be used as a sole criteria for hiring.
But in other hand some people are fantastic in an interview setting. In fact, some people are so good that they can convince a person or committee that they should be hired, despite the fact that their resume, experience, and references say otherwise. The reason for this is that some people are excellent thespians. They have solid acting skills on the stage and in the interview room.
A thorough selection process includes much more than an interview. It also includes an evaluation of experience and education, checking of references, and various forms of organizational testing, depending on the position. Too many organizations have been burned in the past for not considering all of these variables. This is another reason why an interview should not be the only reason to hire a person.
