Survey Questions
Hi.
Looking for a job takes time and effort. As discussed in our previous course, submitting a clear CV application is the first step of job searching. Selecting your CV among other candidates brings you to the second important step of job searching which is the ‘Job Interview’.
As might be obvious to you, a job interview is a communication between the applicant and the recruiter to further identify a suitable candidate for the job position. Job seekers are eagerly waiting for this stage to arrive as it is a positive step after submitting a CV.
In this video, you will learn about 5 types of interviews one may face when looking for a job and some tips for each type.
-
Immediate Telephone Interview: An interview that usually happens as an initial stage before the face-to-face interview to get to know more information about the candidate. Since it is an interview on the phone, you can keep your notes with you but that does not mean you shouldn’t be prepared beforehand. What you say on the phone is very important, since it is the first impression you make on your recruiter.
-
One-to-one job interview: A face to face interview that involves the interviewee and only one interviewer. Questions are asked by both to see if the candidate is suitable for the job.
-
Sequential Interview: A set of interviews, each time with a different interviewer. Usually, different questions are asked. But, if the same questions are repeated just answer fully and clearly as the previous time.
-
Group Interview: An interview with one interviewee but many interviewers. In this kind of interview, group discussions and teamwork are emphasized. Speak openly and make sure all is involved in the group.
-
Dinner/Lunch Interview: An interview with a less formal atmosphere. Make sure you follow table manners. This kind of interview allows your recruiter to get to know you on a more personal level. Over here, good and bad communication skills are easily discoverable.
