As Roberts
et al
. observe, the applicant here puts himself at a disadvantage
by giving what appears to be a defensive and only tangentially relevant
answer to ‘N’s question. ‘N’ is indirectly offering the applicant an opportu-
nity to present his skills and experience, according to the cultural
conventions of anglophone job interviews. However, ‘B’, who comes from
a culture where interviews are more closely akin to tests where weaknesses
are probed, interprets the question as an attempt to find fault, and answers
in the light of his own cultural assumptions. In his own terms, he is being
relevant, but both ‘N’ and ‘B’ have different assumptions about the cultural
function of the question, and therefore different expectations about the
kind of information that is to be exchanged.
This example is a vivid illustration that even ‘straight’ information
exchange is culturally conditioned, not least by the participants’ presuppo-
sitions about what kind of information is important, and why it is being
exchanged. This chapter considers the way that culture impacts upon
interview situations, examines the way that meaning is constructed inter-
actively by participants in interviews, and suggests ways in which
interviews can be exploited more fully from an intercultural perspective in
the ELT classroom.
