The Job Description
In a properly conducted interview, the interviewer should have a clear idea of what the job entails. This might seem to be stating the obvious, but it is not common for some members of interview panels to have little information about the job they are trying to fill. In large organizations, the details of the job are often written down in a document called a job description. This document sets out information about the job in a systematic manner and will usually have the following headings:-
• Job Title
• Duties and Responsibilities
• Salary and Benefits (e.g. pay, bonus, company car)
• Holidays
• Working Conditions (e.g. overtime, travel, special clothing)
A written job description has two main benefits for the interviewer. Firstly, it helps the interviewer to form a much clearer picture of the kind of candidate who would meet the organizations requirement. Secondly, it enables the interviewer to give candidates accurate and precise information about the job while the interview is taking place.
