I had interviewed vs I have interviewed

"I had interviewed" and "I have interviewed" are both correct English phrases, but the contexts in which they are used differ from one another. "I had interviewed" is used when referring to a past action that occurred before another past action, while "I have interviewed" is used to talk about a past action that has relevance to the present.
