Interview

When you split the word ‘interview’ you get two words, ‘inter’ and ‘view’. This roughly translates to
‘between view’ or seeing each other. This means that both the groups involved in an interview get to
know about one another.

People involved in an interview: Usually two groups or two individuals sit facing each other in an
interview. The person asking questions is the interviewer and the person answering the questions is the
interviewee.
