“…A few scholars focused on particular elements of construction to present validation for their conclusion of organisation. Huffcutt and Arthur (1994), Hunting (2019), Krishnan and Maniam (2021a) and Krishnan and Maniam (2021b) noted that the interviews as analogous to one of four stages of interview composition structure, see Figure 1.

“…Huffcutt (2011), Murchison (2017), Dewan (2018), Hunting (2019) and Tiaba and Nadjai (2020) also noted that behavioural interview questions namely; how do you handle work pressure, conflicts, setting goals, how do you work effectively and how do you work in a team. Studies conducted by Krishnan and Maniam (2021a) and Krishnan and Maniam (2021b) reported that the four questions self-introduction, what are your strengths, what are your weaknesses and why we should hire would be more valid for fresh graduates as the structured interview questions are simple and easy to elicit answers from the candidates. They also noted that the four structured interview questions would be suitable for Malaysian contexts, especially for fresh graduates, see Figure 2.…”

The job interview has become a popular topic for research among scholars and is a common format employed by any stake holders, recruitment agencies, companies and institutions. It is also called an assessment to select a suitable candidate for hiring. A common instrument used for the job interview is standard interview questions or semi-structured interview questions internally or locally with the set of common objective. There were several studies conducted by scholars on employment interviews. It was found that three common areas of interest are explored in this paper: (1) comprehending what standardised interviews envisage, (2) investigating how interview concepts can be evaluated, and (3) categorise the candidate and interview components that may impact the interview procedure. It was further found that there are also three equally important factors that require moderate research focus to be incorporated: (1) constructing a general standard and value for the interview format or standard interview questions for fresh graduates and behavioural interview questions for senior positions, (2) focus on the best attributes or personal traits, and (3) reliable explanations, classification and quantification of candidate characteristics and employability skills. It is hope that these approaches can be utilized and contributes in the field of job interviews, especially in Malaysia context which prepare the young generations.

The purpose of this study was to examine how a particular cohort of applicants, who were seeking teaching positions in an international school were working with students experiencing learning difficulties, responded to the job interview question "why should we hire you." By analyzing their responses, the aim was to understand how these teachers engaged in self-promotion to create a favorable impression of the interviewer. A qualitative research approach was utilised to analyse the data collected, which consisted of interviews conducted with five successful candidates. The findings of this study indicated that these candidates encountered challenges in effectively demonstrating self-promotion during their job interviews, despite being ultimately successful in obtaining positions. Furthermore, the results revealed a lack of confidence among the candidates, potentially stemming from their limited proficiency in employing appropriate vocabulary to convey their goals and strategies effectively. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the teaching curriculum incorporate self-promotion techniques to better equip undergraduate students for job interviews and enable them to effectively respond to standard interview questions, thus allowing them to showcase their capabilities more confidently and successfully.
