Job Interview Analysis
I observed interview, which take approximately 5-7 minutes. Interview was about financial analyst position in Network Appliances, Inc. However, interview was partially successful even with few insignificant mistakes. In addition, there are three main phases in interview, namely opening, question response, closing.
Interview begins with opening phase. The beginning of opening phase was quite, because there was handshaking and smiling, which made interview atmosphere friendlier. However, the lack of motivation from the interviewers made some vacuum between interviewee and interviewers. Moreover, I could not found any evidence of small talk between them, which may also made atmosphere little more hostile. When it comes to introduction of panel, it was done properly and purpose of this interview stated clearly.
The most important phase is question response phase. As a matter of fact, several types of questions was asked. The first question was open-ended and presented interest of employers to interviewee. The question is “Let me ask about your previous job experience. In which company? When? ” and I found this relevant and vital in order to be aware of the experience that candidate acquire and where and when he was able to exercise them. By way of contrast, this closed question “Do you have any certificate of ACCA or CAT?” was also asked. The interviewee replied immediate and therefore, it made candidate look in front of interviewers more confident. One of the next question, which took my attention, was direct/specific question about “What kind of financial programs do you know? “. The question I think is important because it is important to be familiar what exactly employee can perform IT field. Besides, hypothetical question about was asked. The answers was quite detailed and straight. I consider that, in the interview this question was quite relevant due to possibility of candidate to demonstrate own best side such creativity. The last type of question was “leading”. The interviewee was a little confused, because he did not expected this question to be asked, but he was able to answer as good as possible. Even so, that questions as Loaded Third-Person, Verbal and Nonverbal Probes are not asked, this interview could be examined as full and informative for both interviewers and candidate for this job. In conclusion, I would mention that all question all relevant and placed in right place during interview and as for answers, the most of them was clear and full.
The last phase of interview was closing phase. Closing phase was quite well but I admitted few omissions. This phase contain body language such as smiling and handshaking, which was performed not at appropriate level because there was slight feeling of unfriendliness. Nevertheless, there was a question from interviewee to future employers. The question was” What bonuses the company can offer me as an employee”. The answers was “Company will offer for employees free transportation and some assistance with finding accommodation”. The question made this phase complete.
To conclude, I would suggest that in overall, this interview was successful and the candidate has all chance to be accepted by this Company as a financial analyst.
