Abstract
This paper explains that a proper interview is conducted with keen preparedness, astute listening, documenting how each applicant answered the interview questions and comparing those answers to select the proper candidate. The author points out that, while there are many questions that could be asked of potential employees, there are also many questions that should never be asked such as age, pregnancy, marital status, ethnicity, disability, religious affiliation, medical history and plans about a family. The paper stress that there are many methods that an interviewer can use to properly conduct an effective interview; therefore, the interviewer should not have a cut-and-dried method, which he or she uses for every interview scenario.

From the Paper
"Picking a location to conduct the interview is important. According to Wicklander and Zulowski, "the cold, hard feel of the room and the starkness of the surroundings are alienating to a degree that even a veteran interrogator (interviewer) can find uncomfortable." Jacobs concurs with this assertion in stating "Find an appropriate location for the interview. The most important thing is to conduct an interview where interruptions are minimized." A place that is comfortable for the interviewer and the applicant will go a long way in making the interview process more effective and produce better results in employee quality for the long run. It is also important to allow for time when scheduling interviews as well."

Hiring Interviewing Techniques, 2004.
This paper selects the best interviewing technique for hiring new positions in the case of the Ogman Corporation, a growing telecommunications company.
1,175 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, £ 28.95

Abstract
This paper explains that Ogman Corporation is now using unstructured or informal interviewing, wherein the interviewer asks the same open-ended, basic questions of each candidate, which leads to a broad evaluation being done with no set standard upon which to judge a candidate.The author points out that one of the techniques is stress interviewing, which is used to discover if a particular candidate will break under pressure; but stress interviewing has low validity and reliability, can give candidates a bad impression of the company, and could lead to legal problems. The paper recommends that Ogman Corporation adopt the panel interviewing technique to standardize its interviewing process because it includes all the benefits of a structured technique and has the benefits of reducing interviewer bias and allowing relevant employees to have input into the selection process.

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Panel interviewing is a variation on the structured interview. The only difference is the candidate is interviewed by a group of people at the same time instead of just one. This panel of interviewers can be made up of many different people but it usually includes the HR manager, the hiring manager and an employee with relevant technical skills to the position the candidate is applying for. The main reason for using a panel is to limit human bias and judgment errors that a single interviewer might have. This makes the final decision much more objective."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explains and discusses the differences between a counseling interview and other types of interviews such as information gathering, persuasive and job interviews. The writer looks at the process and scope of the interview. An interview conducted by the writer is described. The writer explains the purpose of the interview and describes how the person interviewed was dressed. The subject of body language is also examined. Further, the writer discusses the type of contact between the interviewer and interviewee. Finally, the writer discusses when is it appropriate to breech confidentiality and looks at the relevant laws.
From the Paper
"A counseling interview requires a climate conducive to trust, understanding, honesty and openness of communication. In this type of setting more than any other it is important the interviewer establish a solid rapport with the interviewee to help produce a productive and calm environment.
Other types of interviews include job interviews, information gathering interviews and persuasive interviews. A persuasive interview is a directed interview where the primary purpose of the interviewer is to persuade the interviewee to side with them. This form of interview also requires the interviewer establish rapport, but rapport is not as vital to the outcome as it may be to a counseling interview. Nonetheless, the better able the interviewer is able to establish rapport the more likely he or she is to sway the interviewee to their side of an issue."

Abstract
This paper describes an interview held with a 29-year-old homosexual male of African-American descent. The paper examines how the subject feels about himself and other homosexuals and explains the interviewer's own expectations of the interview and the intended focus of the interview. The paper includes a transcript of the actual interview and then, based on the interview, suggests areas for future academic inquiry. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the subject's beliefs regarding other homosexuals.
From the Paper
"The subject seemed ideal for this interview because he is openly homosexual himself, but acutely irritated by the common homosexual ?affect? that he characterizes as a learned or emulated set of effeminate mannerisms and speech patterns that many people have come to associate with (or even expect from) male homosexuals. The subject has repeatedly expressed his disgust with homosexuals whom he describes as ?flames? or even ?faggots?, because as a comfortably assimilated homosexual male, he believes that he (and all homosexual males) suffer from stereotyping and the homophobia that he believes it inspires. Specifically, the subject compares the plight of ?normal? male homosexuals to that of ?normal? black American males who suffer similarly from the stereotypes inspired by African American males who, according to him, ?have to act like hard-ass niggers?."

From the Paper
"Jourdain (2004) discusses four communication styles, the first of which is the sanguine or expressive and spirited style of communication. That style would best describe my own approach. I made use of encouraging words and phrases such as 'um hum' and 'I understand'. I was careful to remain nonjudgmental and to try to have empathy by placing myself in her position. I tried to guide the interview but was careful not to control the responses offered by Mrs. S."

The Interview in Sociology and Journalism, 2002.
This paper describes the general techniques of interviewing and then compares journalistic and sociological research interviewing methods.
3,515 words (approx. 14.1 pages), 16 sources, MLA, £ 69.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses in detail the methodology by which the interview is used to collect precise data. The author believes that, both in sociology and in journalism, the dynamics of interviewing should be properly understood to improve the effectiveness of data gathering. The author states that a key difference is that, in a sociological interview, the question should not be either loaded or biased; whereas, in journalism, it can be biased for a provocation of response. The author concludes that the journalist has much to learn from the sociologist.
From the Paper
"Each type of an interview is designed with a particular task in mind. The non-standardized type is most suitably used in exploratory studies where little is known about the topic. This way a small group may be interviewed quite informally with an intention of gaining useful guidance for the construction of more profound interviews. But there is a limit to which such interviews can be used with larger samples, since they may consume much time and money. Therefore, where large samples are necessary in sociology, the structured interviews provide a number of advantages, as they are cheaper in money and time and easier to process. The potentially quantitative form of standardized interviews makes them useful in hypothesis testing, (that is, checking the validity of initial assumptions in journalism)."

Interviewing Strategy, 2004.
This paper discusses an interviewing strategy for a company that has had a high turnover rate, which may have been caused by improper interviewing of potential employees.
1,230 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 1 source, MLA, £ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that, possibly, the high turnover rate is due to too much leading within the context of the applicant interview in which managers accidentally lead applicants to answer one way or another. The author points out another possible bias in an applicant interview situation is that the manager might automatically make inferences about a candidate?s situation and jump to conclusions based on these inferences, which can harm an applicants chances for further consideration; therefore, it is recommended that two individuals be present in order to record information and first impressions about an applicant's responses. The paper relates that rarely does a manager engage an employee in questioning related to their long-term goals with the potential employer, such as ?Tell me why you left your last employer and how long you were with them??
From the Paper
"There are many different types of interviews that can be conducted within an organization. The type of interview strategy proposed for CWH is an intense and open ended employment interview. The interview process in and of itself should be an intensive communication transaction ?designed to obtain or share predetermined information? in this case information about a candidates skills, qualifications and abilities. In an employment interview the interviewee should attempt to gather knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of the organization and the person being interviewed attempts to share only their most popular qualities with the interviewer."

This paper describes qualitative interviewing as a research method. The paper presents major issues raised by various authors, researchers and practitioners on the use of qualitative interviewing as a method in policy evaluation. The paper examines whether qualitative interviewing is ideal for policy evaluation.

Overview
The Qualitative Interview Method
Scientific Inquiry and Qualitative Interviewing
Validity and Reliability in Qualitative Interviewing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"On account of the above, features of qualitative interviews differ from the survey interviews usually used in quantitative research. A qualitative interview is a one-on-one conversation between the researcher and the interviewee about a specific topic (Rubin and Rubin, p. 4). Unlike surveys, the questions in a qualitative interview are not standardized, even if a researcher conducts multiple interviews on the same topic. The qualitative interviewer uses open-ended, unstructured or semi-structured questions to elicit in-depth, detailed information from the interviewee. The interviewer has the flexibility to pursue unanticipated lines of inquiry."

From the Paper
"In retrospect, I consider the interviews to have been very successful, except that with practice, I believe I could learn to employ more effective techniques for getting to substantive issues in the first session instead of using it as a preparation to do so in subsequent sessions. In part, expect that, as many suggest, (Goldstein 1995) with more practice, I will be able to recognize behavioral cues that indicate readiness to continue conversations further instead of worrying about "prying" for too much too soon. Likewise, I intend to prepare more thoroughly the next time, both before the first interview, but especially, in formulating follow-up questions and lines of inquiry for the second session based on information elicited in preceding sessions. If I had the chance to do this project over again, I would recognize the opportunities that the subject gave me during our first conversation to introduce lines of questioning that occurred to me but concerned me as being "too forward" in the first session."

"Guidelines for Interviewing Children", 2005.
A summary of the article "Guidelines for Interviewing Children" by Garbarino.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how interviewing children during therapy involves different skills than the process of interviewing adults and how as pointed out in Garbarino (1992), children do not have the same linguistic or cognitive competence as adults. Therefore, the process of interviewing children is necessarily unlike that of the process for interviewing adults, in that they often have different ways of communicating their thoughts and emotions than adults do. This summarizes the article, "Guidelines for Interviewing Children", which describes this delicate process."
