In the past, there are many studies discussing relevant antecedents of interviewer rating and the interaction effect in the interview. Resume, not only can be used to screen the applicants in the recruitment process, but can also be used during the interview as an information source. Nevertheless, few studies discuss how the information variance influence interviewer rating. This current study is going to explore the assimilation and contrast effect. Past research has confirmed that the interview structure can reduce evaluation error, making interviewers focus their attention on job-related information and helping interviewers distinguish applicants' performance. Data was collected from undergraduate and master degree entrance selection interview, which was highly structured. The results show that non relevant factors do not exert their effects, such as applicant physical attractiveness, implying that interview structure may works. Furthermore, concerning assimilation and contrast effect, the variance between applicant's supporting materials indeed influences the variance between final evaluations.
