TYPES OF INTERVIEWS

▪Face-to-face Interview

FACE-TO-FACE INTERVIEW
▪Also known as the traditional job interview, it is one of
the most common types of job interviews. In this, you
are interviewed by the hiring manager of the company.
Moreover, this is usually the last round of the selection
process.
▪The interviewer will try to asses whether you will have
the required skills or not. Plus, the recruiter will ask
you some common interview questions to better
understand you.
VIDEO INTERVIEW
▪A video interview is widely known as the skype
interview. This is conducted via video chat on
either your phone or on your computer. The
recruiter uses this medium to easily connect with
potential candidates that are living far from the job
location but are ready to relocate.
▪Software programmes such as Skype, Facetime,
Google Hangout and more are easily accessible.
Hence, it is better to ask the interviewer about the
interview platform beforehand
PHONE INTERVIEW

▪A phone interview is usually used as a screening

round to filter potential candidates. Although it is
shorter than other types of job interviews, it is
equally important. Moreover, it might be for a
position where the candidate is not a local and the
recruiter wants to see whether to call you for an
in-person interview or not.
▪However, you should be prepared for the phone
interview to get shortlisted for further interview
rounds.
GROUP INTERVIEW

▪When it comes to group interview, there are two

types of group interviews.
▪In the first type, multiple interviewers meet and
interview you together.
▪In the second type, other candidates with you are
interviewed at the same time by a single
interviewer.
▪Group interviews are often more efficient than a
one-on-one interview. When sitting for a group
interview, you should be well prepared, confident
and a good listener.
CONCLUSION

▪Job interviews come in all formats and

styles and as a job seeker, you should
know all about them and are prepared
for all of them. Moreover, no matter
what type of job interview you get,
always be prepared to show the
interviewer that you are the perfect
candidate for the job role.
