Interviews most often than none comes with mixed emotions.

It cuts across just like this article to both the Interviewer and the Interviewee. For the interviewer, he/she has to ensure that the right questions are asked, he/she pays keen attention to all said verbally, body gestures, and all other pointers necessary then above all, the best candidate is picked. For the Interviewee, he/she has to be sure to speak well while answering possible questions.
