Explain the following:

Structured Interview

Answer 1

Two types of interviews are commonly conducted by enterprises in the selection of employees: 

1. Structured or Patterned Interview: This interview is systematically planned in advance and is conducted in a pre-planned manner. The questions to be asked and the time to be allowed to a candidate are decided in advance. This is the most common type of selection interview.
2. Unstructured or Non-Directive Interview: This interview is not planned in advance. The questions to be asked and the expected reactions are not decided. Candidates are asked their views on relevant matters. This type of interview requires experienced interviewers. 

Both types of interviews are important in the selection process, as they assist organisations in identifying the most qualified and eligible candidates for their positions.
