Analysis and Evaluation

questions in which I asked were; 1. How did you hear about this position, 2. Why do you
want to work here, 3. Where do see yourself in 5 years, 4. What are your educational
achievements, and 5. How well do you work under pressure? These questions were asked
because I wanted to understand the candidate more in terms of their potentiality, ability and
academics. I asked these questions to ensure that the interviewee was provided with a
comfortable climate where they feel relaxed and focused whilst getting to know them. In an
