Abstract
The authors demonstrate that the length of an interview (10 min., 20 min., or 30 min.) has little effect upon student interviewers' after-interview ratings of student interviewees. In contrast, interviewers given different initial sets about interviewees let those initial sets (to the effect that interviewees are cold or warm) affect significantly their after-interview ratings. These conclusions are based upon records secured from 377 two-person simulated employment interviews.Keywords
