Interviews

Interviewing is the process whereby individuals (usually two) exchange information. The participants may be concerned with a job opening, a promotion, a special assignment, a product sale, information for intelligence purposes, a proposed merger, or other questions. The information exchanged need not be limited to facts. In business, particularly, products of an interview such as meaning and understanding often are more significant than objective factual statements.
