T his chapter is dedicated to something that will be of great importance through-
out your professional life—interviews. An interview is a goal-driven transaction
characterized by questions and answers, clear structure, control, and imbalance.
An interview is usually a dyadic transaction, meaning that it takes place between two
people. A talk show host asking questions of a celebrity would be one example of a dyadic
interview. Sometimes, however, a person may be interviewed by two or more people
or in a panel situation. Consider, for instance, when someone testifies before Congress
and is asked a series of questions by a panel of senators. We introduce various types of
interviews in this chapter, but we primarily focus on employment interviews, since
those are the types of interviews the majority of people reading this book are most con-

Interviews share many characteristics with other types of communication. Certainly,
all of the properties of communication discussed throughout the book remain intact.
Communication within an interview is transactional and symbolic (both verbal and
nonverbal), requires meaning, is both presentational and representational, and takes
much for granted. An interview requires effective listening (engaged, relational, and
critical) on the part of everyone involved in order to be successful. Furthermore, iden-
tity, relational, and cultural work are all being conducted during an interview. There are
certain characteristics, though, that make interviews very unique types of communica-
tion, and we will examine those later.
This chapter ultimately focuses on how to conduct and participate in employment
interviews. We begin by discussing the preparation for an interview. We then exam-

happens during the question-and-answer portion of an interview. From an inter-
viewer standpoint, we discuss developing different types of question
