TEXT 2. ABOUT INTERVIEWS
Once the company has obtained the resumes and completed form of the candidates, the next step is to compare them. This can be a lengthy process, trying to match the attributes of the applicants to the post. Some CVs and forms will be discounted straight away because, for example:
• they are badly written, perhaps they have poor spelling and are untidy
• the applicant's qualifications may be inadequate for the post
|
|
|
• the applicant may be too old or too young.
These applicants will be sent letters informing them that they were unsuccessful in their application. Of the CVs and application forms remaining, a "short" list will be drawn up. This is a list of the applicants seen as best suited for the post. Letters will be sent to those listed, inviting them for interview on a certain date. At the same date the company will usually send for references.
The interview is the major way the companies assess whether a candidate is suitable for a particular post. It allows the company to make a judgement on:
• the candidate's personality (will he fit into the company and be able to mix with
the other staff?)

• the ability of the candidate to communicate
• whether the information on the CV or application form is correct.
It also gives the candidate the chance to find out more about the company, such the working condition, hours of work, pay and training.
