"Interview provides an opportunity to improve, a potential employee's experience and skills." Justify either for or against.

Against the statement.

The interview does not improve a potential employee's experience and skills. Its purpose is different. The reasons are:

1. Purpose of Interview — Interview is a face-to-face encounter conducted to judge the candidate's suitability for a job. It is used to assess the personality, communication skills, facial expressions, postures, gestures, and speaking skills of candidates, not to enhance them.

2. Means of Verification — Interview serves as a means of checking the information obtained through the application form and tests. It is an evaluation tool, not a development tool.

3. Skills Improved through Training — A potential employee's experience and skills are improved through training programmes.

Hence, interview is a method of selection, not a method of skill enhancement.
