There are several different kinds of interviews such as :

Traditional Face-to-Face Interview * Most interviews are face-to-face. * The most traditional is a one-on-one conversation. * Your focus should be on the person asking questions. * Maintain eye contact, listen and respond once a question has been asked. * Don't interrupt the interviewer.

Panel/Committee Interview * In this situation, there is more than one interviewer. * Typically, three to ten members of a panel may conduct this part of the selection process. T * his is your chance to put your group management and group presentation skills on display. * As quickly as possible, try to 'read' the various personality types of each interviewer and adjust to them. Find a way to connect with each interviewer. * Remember to take your time in responding to questions. * Maintain primary eye contact with the panel member who asked the question, but also seek eye contact with other members of the panel as you give your response.

Behavioral Interview * The basic premise behind this type of interview is that your past behavior is the best predictor of your future actions * If the employer asks behavior-oriented questions, they are no longer asking hypothetical questions but are now asking questions that must be answered based on facts. * This type of question generally starts with the words “Give me an example of ” or “Tell me about a time when"

Telephone Interview * Many organizations will conduct interviews by telephone to narrow a field of candidates. Telephone interviews may also be used as a preliminary interview for candidates who live far away from the job site. * Focus on the conversation. Listen to the questions carefully before you answer. Since your voice is key, convey energy with inflection in your voice. * Have a copy of your resume and the job description nearby as a reference. * Avoid using a phone with call waiting. You do not want to be interrupted during a phone interview. * Try to use a landline phone or a cell phone that is not prone to dropping calls.

Group Interview * A group interview is usually designed to uncover the leadership potential of prospective managers and employees who will be dealing with customers. * The front-runner candidates are gathered together in an informal, discussion type interview. A subject is introduced and the interviewer will start off the discussion. * The goal of the group interview is to see how you interact with others and how you use your knowledge and reasoning to influence others. Lunch/Dinner Interview * The same rules apply at a meal as those in an office. The setting may be more casual, but remember that it is a business meal and you are being watched carefully. * Use the interview to develop common ground with your interviewer. Follow his/her lead in both selection of food and etiquette. * Avoid messy foods and do not drink alcohol at any point in this part of the interview process * See the online Career Center tip sheet “The Interview—Etiquette” for additional tips.
