Interviewee

An interviewee is a person who is participating in a conversation or assessment, typically called an interview, to provide information or demonstrate their skills. This person often seeks a job, position, or opportunity and answers questions from an interviewer—such as a potential employer—to show their suitability. Essentially, the interviewee is the individual being interviewed, sharing relevant details about themselves in hopes of gaining a favorable outcome, like employment or admission. The term emphasizes their active role in the interview process, providing information they believe will support their case or goals.
