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.
