"Interview provides an opportunity to improve, a potential employee's experience and skills." Justify either for or against.
Answer
Against the statement.
The interview does not improve a potential employee's experience and skills. Its purpose is different. The reasons are:
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.
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.
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.
