An interview is a formal or informal process involving two or more people, where one party asks questions to gather information, assess qualifications, or evaluate perspectives. It can occur in person, over the phone, or virtually. The interviewer leads the discussion, seeking specific insights or information, while the interviewee responds to the questions, often providing background, expertise, or opinions. Interviews are commonly used in job recruitment, academic research, or media contexts to obtain a deeper understanding of the subject, qualifications, or experiences of the interviewee. They can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured.
