Contoh Job Interview Transcript

Wawancara (interview) adalah percakapan antara kedua pihak atau lebih, satu pihak sebagai pewawancara dan pihak lainnya sebagai yang diwawancara. Pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang dilontarkan dari pihak pewawancara harus dijawab sebaik-baiknya oleh orang yang diwawancarai.

Sementara itu, job interview adalah wawancara yang dimaksudkan untuk mencari pegawai baru. Wawancara sangat diperlukan untuk mengetahui secara lengkap pribadi dan potensi calon karyawan. Resume hanyalah ikhtisar singkat yang tidak bisa menilai secara keseluruhan karyawan baru.

Perlu diketahui, sebagian besar manajer perekrutan menghabiskan waktu kurang dari 10 detik untuk melihat resume ribuan pelamar yang masuk setiap harinya. Resume tidak bisa menilai etos kerja, kepribadian, motivasi pribadi, dll. Maka dari itu, apabila seorang manajer perekrutan tertarik dengan resume kamu, dia akan menghubungimu untuk memastikan bahwa pilihan memperkerjakan kamu adalah tepat.

Simaklah contoh job interview berikut ini untuk mengetahui apa saja yang biasanya ditanyakan saat wawancara kerja dan bagaimana sebaiknya menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut.
