被动语态的完整用法是“be动词+动词的过去时”
举个例子吧:The dress was bought for me.这个裙子是(被)买来给我的.was是BE动词的过去式,bought是buy的过去式.
再回到你的句子里,明确了完整的被动语态的用法是:be+interviewed,而这里又有一个介词after,介词后面的动词都是采用—ING形式.所以应用being.
至于你说的只用interviewed来表示被动的情况,只能这样来改动这个句子:
Interviewed by the manager ,the applicant was considered to be the right ……
也就是要同时去掉being和after.
希望我有讲清楚.如果还有不明白的可以追问哈.
