ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an overview of the interview process that it is a planned interaction between two parties in which questions are asked by an interviewer and answers are provided by an interviewee. The interview consists of a variety of questions. Generally, each question can be classified as open or closed, primary or secondary, and neutral or leading. The basic structure of an interview is similar to that of a speech: Both have an opening, a body, and a closing. The opening begins the interview and sets the tone for the interaction. The body is the heart of the interview; it is where the questions are asked and the responses are given. In the closing, the interviewer draws the session to an end, ideally on a positive note. Two types of interviews are especially significant: the informational interview and the employment interview.
