The interview is an opportunity for you and the candidate to gather information. The company wants to know if you, the candidate, have the skills, knowledge, self-confidence, and motivation necessary for the job. You can be sure that your resume and cover letter grabbed the employer’s attention. Their goal is to determine whether you will fit in with the organization’s current employees and philosophy. Likewise, you will want to evaluate the position and the organization, and establish if they will fit into your future career plans. The interview is a two-way exchange of information. It is an opportunity for both parties to market themselves. The employer is selling the organization to you, and you are marketing your skills, knowledge, and personality to the employer.
