ABSTRACT
Of the many types of interview, that used for the purpose of selection is one of the most important and is also that which the amateur is most frequently asked to undertake. He should, however, be neither complacent about his skill not despairing of the possibilities of improving it. Interviewing is an arduous task, but it can also be a rewarding one. It brings the interviewer into touch with many people, endlessly varied in their histories and personalities. It gives opportunity for the interviewer to learn a great deal about certain jobs, and incidentally to increase his knowledge of a wide variety of subjects from what candidates may have to say about them. In the organisation for which he works he has often a chance to observe the after-careers of the candidates he selects and to know them better personally.
