How to face an interview? What are the
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) in an
interview? How to behave in an interview? What kind of measures are to be
taken before and after the interview to be successful
and effective? These issues are no longer Greek
and Latin for job aspirants. Fortunately, on these issues, nowadays, abundant, freely accessible
and qualitative information is available under the
sun to these job aspirants. Normally, interviews
are conducted by the institutions to hire
employees. This is quite a familiar thing; but what
is unfamiliar, at least for some, is that it is also
being carried out before an employee leaves the organization. The former kind of interview
is called `Hiring Interview' and latter one is
known as `Exit Interview'.
An exit interview is an interview conducted by
an employer of departing employees. In other
words, it is an interview conducted with departing employees, just before they leave.
To be clearer, an exit interview is typically a meeting between
at least one representative from a company's Human Resource Department (HRD) and a
departing employee. Therefore it is nothing but a
formal interaction between two parties. One party will
be the representative of the organization and the
other will be the departing employee. Generally,
the organization's representative will be a
relatively neutral party, such as a human resource
staff member, so that the departing employee will
feel free to express his/her views and share
his/her feelings/emotions/grievances about
different aspects of the work environment. The
answers provided by the departing employee will be
noted formally by the neutral party for future
reference and for the purpose of rectification.
Some organizations execute a questionnaire for the departing employee to personally fill.
Other enterprises practice both. |
