An interview is a formal conversation between two or more people, typically conducted to gather information, assess qualifications, or evaluate suitability for a job or position. It is a structured process where one person, usually an interviewer, asks questions to another person, usually a candidate or interviewee, to assess their skills, knowledge, experience, and suitability for a particular role or purpose. Interviews can also be conducted for research purposes, media interviews, or informational purposes.
