Intervistime

Intervistime is a term used to describe the period during which an interview takes place. It encompasses the entire duration from the moment the interviewee is approached or invited to participate, through the actual questioning and answering process, to the conclusion of the interview. The length of an intervistime can vary significantly depending on the context, such as a casual conversation, a formal job interview, a media interview, or a scientific research interview. Factors influencing the duration include the complexity of the questions, the interviewee's preparation, and the interviewer's style.

During an intervistime, the interviewer typically follows a structured or unstructured approach. In structured interviews, questions are predetermined and asked in a specific order. Unstructured interviews, on the other hand, allow for more flexibility and spontaneity, with questions evolving based on the interviewee's responses. Effective communication, active listening, and the ability to adapt to the interviewee's flow are crucial skills for both interviewers and interviewees during this time.

The outcome of an intervistime can vary widely. In some cases, it may lead to a successful outcome, such as a job offer or a published article. In others, it may result in a rejection or a less favorable result. Regardless of the outcome, the intervistime serves as a valuable opportunity for both parties to gain insights, share information, and build relationships. Post-intervistime, it is common for both the interviewer and the interviewee to reflect on the experience, assess their performance, and consider any follow-up actions that may be necessary.
