An interview is a pre-arranged face-to-face conversation between two parties where there is two-way information exchange. There are various types of interviews including informational, exploratory, employment, performance appraisal, counseling, grievance, correction, sales, and exit interviews. Key skills observed in interviews include questioning, listening, evaluating, and controlling. Preparation, appearance, etiquette during the interview, and following up after are important for job interviews.
