Morphology
The meaning 'a formal meeting to assess a candidate' is directly and transparently composed from 'job' (a paid position) + 'interview' (a meeting to gather information), where 'job' specifies the interview's purpose. This straightforward compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and easily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Job interview comes from two simple words: job (the work) and interview (a meeting where one person asks questions and the other answers). Imagine two people sitting face to face while the employer asks questions to see if the applicant can do the work, so it means 'a formal meeting to see if someone is right for the job'.
