The traditional one on one interview is where you are interviewed by one representative of the
company, most likely the manager of the position you are applying for. Because you will be
working with this person directly if you get the job, he/she will want to get a feel for who you
are and if your skills match those of the job requirements.
2) Panel interview:
In a panel interview, you will be interviewed by a panel of interviewers. The panel may
consist of different representatives of the company such as human resources, management,
and employees. The reason why some companies conduct panel interviews is to save time or
to get the collective opinion of panel regarding the candidate. Each member of the panel may
be responsible for asking you questions that represent relevancy from their position.
3) Behavioral interview:
In a behavioral interview, the interviewer will ask you questions based on common situations
of the job you are applying for. The logic behind the behavioral interview is that your future
performance will be based on a past performance of a similar situation. You should expect
questions that inquire about what you did when you were in XXX situation and how did you
dealt with it. In a behavioral interview, the interviewer wants to see how you deal with certain
problems and what you do to solve them
4) Group interview:
Many times companies will conduct a group interview to quickly prescreen candidates for the
job opening as well as give the candidates the chance to quickly learn about the company to
see if they want to work there. Many times, a group interview will begin with a short
presentation about the company. After that, they may speak to each candidate individually and
ask them a few questions.
5) Phone interview:
A phone interview may be for a position where the candidate is not local or for an initial
prescreening call to see if they want to invite you in for an in-person interview. You may be
asked typical questions or behavioral questions.
Most of the time you will schedule an appointment for a phone interview. If the interviewer
calls unexpectedly, it’s ok to ask them politely to schedule an appointment. On a phone
interview, make sure your call waiting is turned off, you are in a quiet room, and you are not
eating, drinking or chewing gum.
6) Lunch interview:
Many times lunch interviews are conducted as a second interview. The company will invite
you to lunch with additional members of the team to further get to know you and see how you
fit in. This is a great time to ask any questions you may have about the company or position as
well, so make sure you prepare your questions in advance.
Job Interview Dos and Don’ts for Jobseekers
The Dos
We’ll start off with the dos of interview dos and dont’s. First up? Gather all necessary and
important information when you are invited to the interview:
When you accept the invitation to the interview, DO be sure you know the name of the
company, and request the names and job titles of each of the people who will be interviewing
you (if they’re not offered).
Displaying a little bit of knowledge about an interviewer’s professional background can go a
long way toward making a great impression.
DO know the type of job interview you will encounter. Ask, if the information is not
volunteered by the person setting up the interview
DO ask how long the interview(s) is/are expected to take so you can know how it will impact
the rest of your day.
DO ask for the street address of the interview location (and, if appropriate, the floor of a
building, and/or office number). Also, inquire about parking and/or public transportation, if
appropriate.
If presented with a job application, DO fill it out neatly, completely, and accurately. Keep it
“in sync” with both your LinkedIn profile and resume because they will probably be
compared to ensure consistency.
The Dont’s
As you are getting ready for the interview:
DON’T assume that you can “wing it” and be impressive without trying, or without advanced
preparation.
DON’T assume that an invitation to a job interview means that you have a job offer “in the
bag.” That’s wrong and a big mistake and the farthest thing from the truth!
DON’T arrive late. Let’s repeat that one: DON’T arrive late.
Dosul
Vom începe cu dosul de interviu dos și nu. În primul rând? Strângeți toate informațiile
necesare și importante atunci când sunteți invitat la interviu:
Când acceptați invitația la interviu, Fii sigur că știi numele companiei și cere numele și
titlurile de locuri de muncă ale fiecăruia dintre persoanele care te vor intervieva (dacă nu sunt
oferite).
Afișarea unor cunoștințe despre fondul profesionist al intervievatorului poate duce la o mare
impresie.
Știți tipul de interviu de angajare pe care îl veți întâlni. Întrebați dacă informațiile nu sunt
oferite voluntar de către persoana care a stabilit interviul
Doriți să știți cât timp interviul (e) este (sunt) așteptat (ă), astfel încât să știți cum va afecta
restul zilei.
Solicitați adresa străzii locului de interviu (și, dacă este cazul, podeaua unei clădiri și / sau
numărul de birou). De asemenea, solicitați informații privind parcarea și / sau transportul
public, dacă este cazul.
Nu e Dont
Pe măsură ce vă pregătiți pentru interviu:
Nu presupuneți că puteți "ariza" și fi impresionant fără a încerca, sau fără pregătire avansată.
Nu presupuneți că o invitație la un interviu înseamnă că aveți o ofertă de locuri de muncă "în
geantă". Asta e greșit și o mare greșeală și cel mai îndepărtat lucru de la adevăr!
NU ajunge cu întârziere. Să repetăm asta: NU ajunge cu întârziere.
În timpul interviului:
NU mâncați, nu beți sau mestecați gumă în timpul interviului și NU beți alcool înainte de
interviu. De asemenea, NU fumați înainte de interviu - veți sfârși miroși ca fum dacă faceți.
NU răspundeți la apelurile telefonice sau trimiteți sau răspundeți la texte în timpul interviului.
Păstrați telefonul mobil oprit și depozitat.
Nu întrebați despre salarii, vacanțe, bonusuri, pensii sau alte beneficii până când nu primiți o
ofertă. Acesta este un lucru foarte mare pe care nu-l puteți pierde în timpul interviului.
După interviu:
NU uitați să vă urmați imediat notele de mulțumire (sau e-mailurile) fiecărui intervievator.
