Interviewee for Dummies

Hey there! So, I heard you're wondering about the word "interviewee." Well, let me break it down for you in the simplest way possible. Have you ever seen TV shows or movies where people talk to each other and answer questions? It's kind of like a conversation, right? Well, sometimes, when someone is looking to hire a person for a job, they have these special conversations called interviews.

Now, in an interview, there are usually two people involved - the person who wants the job and the person who is looking to hire someone. The person who wants the job is called the "interviewee." It's like they're the one being interviewed, or questioned, by the other person.

So, imagine you're playing a game of "Question and Answer" with your friend. You're the one answering the questions, and your friend is the one asking them. In this game, you would be the interviewee because your friend is interviewing you. Make sense?

Now, let's go even deeper and explore another definition of "interviewee." Sometimes, not only do people have interviews for jobs, but they can also have interviews for other reasons, like for a news article or a research project. In these cases, the person being asked questions is still called the interviewee because they are the one being interviewed by the person conducting the interview.

So, to sum it all up, an interviewee is the person who is being asked questions or having a conversation with someone else who is looking for information, opinions, or to make a decision. It's like being the "answerer" or the "question receiver" in a conversation or a game of "Question and Answer".

I hope that made things clearer for you! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. You're doing great!
