Abstract
Recruitment all over the world observes interviews in various formats prior to engaging the respective person
in the desired job. This necessarily paves a way to understand the person on what is able do is and what cannot do.
Nevertheless, appointing authorities the world over, except a few have ignored the essence of interviews during the
appointment of political appointees such as ministers, provincial commissioners, regional commissioners, district
commissioners, permanent secretaries, chief executive officers of various government corporations, and local authorities.
Hence, the expectations of performance of these appointees is actually at gambling. This paper sets an agenda on the
importance of interviews to the political appointees prior to affirmation to the vacancies desired. The study is a review,
and thus it utilizes systemic thinking, documentation, observation and experiential in expounding and narrating the
concepts on discussion. The analysis of conceptual discussion assumes descriptive methods. The paper concludes that so
far it is imperative for the political appointees to undergo interviews prior affirmation to the various jobs.
