Interview Styles

There are several different types of interviews that are used in various situations.
Knowing what to expect will assist you in achieving your objectives.

Here’s some of them

 1. Individual Interview

The most popular form of interview, also known as a “personal interview,” takes place face to face at the company’s offices.
To plan, find out how long the interview will last; it can last anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes. Shorter interviews would necessarily require providing brief, to-the-point responses. Longer interviews, on the other hand, give you more time to clarify and back up your responses with examples.

2. Screening or Telephone Interview

Phone interviews – these are proving to be a more cost-effective method of screening applicants. The duration of the slots varies from 10 to 30 minutes. To begin, prepare as if it were an open book test. Second, double-check that you have your CV, job description, list of references, and prepared responses in front of you. Since they can’t see your body language, it’s important to have constructive, sharp responses delivered with enthusiasm. Finally, don’t forget to inquire about the next move.

3. Informational Interview

The aim of an informational interview is to get advice and learn more about a specific employer, industry, or work. Interviewing experts in their fields is another way to broaden the job awareness. As a result of obtaining this material, you will be better prepared. It’s also a great way to meet new people and expand your network.

4. Stress Interview

These types of interviews is uncommon, because it entails the interviewer baiting you to see what you’ll say. The aim is to expose your flaws and see how you respond under extreme pressure. The tactics used to force you to your limits can range from repeated interruptions and strange silences to provoking and demanding interrogation-style questions. Furthermore, it is worth considering whether you want to work for a company that is willing to go this far even before an offer is made.
