Interviews are formal discussions primarily conducted to gather information or evaluate someone's suitability for a job, scholarship, or a particular position. They typically involve a conversation between an interviewer or panel of interviewers and the interviewee, where the former asks predetermined or spontaneous questions, and the latter responds by providing relevant information or sharing personal experiences and opinions.
Interviews generally serve multiple purposes. In the context of employment, they are commonly used to assess a candidate's qualifications, skills, and suitability for a specific role within an organization. Through the interview process, employers aim to evaluate an individual's abilities, knowledge, and personal attributes to determine the best fit for a position. Additionally, interviews allow candidates to showcase their capabilities, highlight their achievements, and engage in dialogue that can help both parties gain valuable insights into each other.
In various academic settings, interviews are often conducted to select candidates for scholarships, research opportunities, or admission to educational programs. Here, the focus may be on evaluating a candidate's academic achievements, potential, motivation, or their ability to contribute positively to the field of study.
Interviews may differ in structure, ranging from one-on-one conversations to group interviews or virtual interviews conducted through video conferencing. They can be unstructured, where questions and discussion flow organically, or structured, following a predetermined set of questions. Often, interviews involve a combination of both styles, with certain structured questions ensuring consistency in evaluation while allowing for unstructured dialogue to explore candidate-specific aspects further.
Overall, interviews serve as essential tools for assessing and selecting individuals based on their qualifications, skills, and suitability for employment or academic opportunities, providing both interviewers and interviewees with a platform to exchange information and make informed decisions.

The word "interviews" has a Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin words "inter" which means "between" or "among", and "videre" which means "to see". In Latin, the term "intervidere" referred to a formal consultation or meeting. The word later evolved in English to "interview", specifically referring to a formal meeting or conversation, typically between a reporter and a person of interest to gather information or conduct an evaluation.
