...Determination: Analyse of the conduct of the interview: In general, what is your view of how the interview was conducted? Generally the interview was reasonably professional if a little rushed. The good points were: Inez begins well by reviewing the company’s business objectives which she has a grasp of from previous contacts with the company. There seems to be a good understanding on business matters between Inez and Gerry. She ensures that she has a firm understanding of many of the facts that she gathered. E.g. “Now, I understand one of the general objectives of the new information system is to be able to extract reports and inquiries on demand from any browser on a PC, laptop, Blackberry or PDA”. She pauses to jot some details of those facts down The bad points were: Inez seems to have her eye on the clock and she avoids going into detail on some of the new areas of business that Gerry wants in the new system e.g. the company’s proposed environmental specialist division, is not analysed by Inez. She also does not analyse sufficiently the Safety System. At times she does not seem to be listening to Gerry. Gerry talks about the environmental area more than once, but she does not to pick up on it sufficiently. However, to be fair to Inez, at the end of the interview she does say that in their next meeting she intended to look at some of the tasks in more detail. Did Inez elicit the information you would expect from a first interview? Yes in terms of identifying the main...
