This empirical study is an analysis of 35 taped job interviews for a variety of functions. The verbal interaction of the participants in the interviews is seen as embedded within wider ideological and institutional environments. It is shown that there are tensions and contradictions between the ideas that inform the events, the tasks of the participants and the contingencies of the face-to-face encounter. This means that the participants' official business is a concern for the "exchange of information", whereas at the same time they orient unofficially to the "side effects" and to the strategic consequences of the talk. Discourse analysis, ethnomethodology, conversation analysis and observations inspired by Goffman's works, provide the theoretical and methodological instruments for the presentation of a conceptual framework that is at the same time consistent with the microscopic details of the interviews and with the broader phenomena that anchor the job interview in the wider social and cultural world.
