Types of Interviews • Screening interviews
Before you even get asked in for an interview, you might receive an initial
phone call from the employer. It could be one of their Human Resources
people wanting to ask you a series of questions that will help them decide if
they want to bring you in for a face-to-face discussion. So be alert and on
your best behavior when your phone rings.
Behavioural interviews
• Behavioral based interviewing is interviewing based on discovering
how the you acted in a specific situation. The logic is that how you
behaved in the past will predict how you will behave in the future.
Panel Interviews
• Imagine having two, three, or even more people interviewing
you all at once. That’s what a panel interview is all about. It
gives the employer multiple opinions about you.
• Your job is to engage each member of the panel when
answering a question.
Stress Interviews• Chances are you’re being stress-interviewed. The employer
puts you under pressure to see how you react. You show them
what you’re made of by keeping your cool. The more they
continue to apply the tension, the calmer you become.
Case Interviews• The employer gives you a problem or topic for which you must prepare
a presentation, either before arriving or directly on the spot. They want
to see how you communicate your ideas in front of a small group.
Beauty Parade• Sometimes the employer has decided to hire you, but asks you back just to meet a few
more people. Probably their objective is to make certain they haven’t missed any
obvious shortcomings that others might see in you. You’re now in a beauty parade.
