It therefore serves purposes other than simply obtaining employment. Interviews allow potential employers the opportunity to meet you, ask additional questions to assist them in deciding whether you would be capable of performing the job responsibilities asked of you, and determine whether you would fit into their particular organization.
Potential employers view an interview as the most important part of their hiring process.
Contrary to what most inexperienced interviewers think, you need to spend quality time and effort preparing for interviews. Your lack of preparation will be painfully obvious, sending numerous warning signals to a potential employer about your character and future job performance. Also, how you conduct yourself in an interview may determine how you will be viewed by your future boss and co-workers, and the type of future salary potential you can expect.
