Interview Assessment

CLZ

Reporter: Saeed Abdulla Alkatheeri
The interviewed: Ahmed Abdulkarem

INTRODUCTION:

The interview took place in room C001 of ADMC on Sunday 3rd March, 2013 at 10:45 a.m. The interviewee was Ahmed, who was applying for the post of football coach. I was the report writer, while detailed questions were asked by Sultan Ahmed, H00247456, and Hamad Alkhoori, H00251326.

So I will discuss in my report the interview that has been done by Abdulla and in my report I will talk about how well or bad he did in his interview. Abdulla introduced himself as a professional football coach with good multiple experiences and a lot of achievements.

The Appearance:

Abdulla’s appearance was good wearing the formal clothes of the UAE; also he was talking clearly but at the same time he looked nervous and not so confident which was clear from his body language; maybe because he wasn’t ready or prepared; that was obvious when he took time to think of an answer.

The Voice and Language:

Ahmed was speaking in a low voice but understandable because he was nervous; he tried to take time between one sentence and another to figure what to say next; also his language was acceptable by virtue of that English is not his first language.

The Preparation:

It was obvious Ahmed had some problems; it may be a confidence problem or shyness problems which was the result of a lack of preparation.

Easiest and hardest question:  

As I saw I think the easiest question Ahmed faced is about his career and what achievements he achieved; Ahmed answered quite quickly: it was beautiful and full of practical trophies tournaments.

And about the hardest question it was when Hamad asked him about what goals did he attain in the previous career; he I answered in a way that was reluctant: I’m trying to focus on the youth team.

Overall appraisal:

The job he applied for is a difficult job which needs a confident man with big experience to handle it; about that Sultan asked Ahmed: can you work under pressure? Ahmed answered the question in an unconfident way that showed his weakness handling a situation under pressure.

I don’t think he is going to be accepted for the job because this team needs a coach with qualities who’s able to motivate the team and he must be very patient to handle the team for achieving goals and the Etisalat League.
