The interviewee should maintain eye contact with the person asking the questions but also seek eye contact with the other members of the panel. Screening Interview This type of interview is generally conducted by larger companies when there is a large applicant pool and is typically the first phase of selection. Screening interviews are used to ensure that the candidates meet minimum requirements and are often conducted by a computer or by an interviewer from the human resources department who is skilled at determining whether there is anything that might disqualify you from the position. Video Conferencing Video conferencing is typically used to conduct interviews using video technology from a distance. The same interview strategies you would use if you were meeting in person apply - clothing, body language, and dialogue are important. Phone interviews are increasingly used in mass hiring. The interview is conducted entirely over the phone and this is very effective in eliminating any bias that may arise from the appearance and manner of the candidate. Phone Interview Why the phone interview? Phone interviews are often used to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews- and is a good way to minimize travel expenses The candidate should focus on the conversation and listen to the questions carefully before answering. In this interview, voice is also a key.

Have a pen and paper handy to keep notes or write down any questions that come up; keep a glass of water beside you. Close the door or ensure you are in a quiet setting to eliminate any potential distractions. Speak slowly, enunciate clearly, and vary your voice tone, tempo, and pitch to keep the interviewers attention. Restate the question if you have not fully heard or understood it. Smile – even on the phone it will project a positive image. Group Interview The main purpose of this interview is to see how the interviewer interacts with others and how he or she influences others with knowledge and reason. Why group interviews? A group interview occurs when several candidates for a position are interviewed simultaneously. Group interviews offer employers a sense of your leadership potential and style, and provide a glimpse of what you may actually be like as an employee and how you would fit into the team The leading candidates who are selected from the group interview are then taken for an informal one to one interview. Stress Interview This type of interview is rare in the present job scenario. It was a very common interview method when selecting for sales position. Why stress interviews?

Interview Formats Behavioral Interview The Interviewer will ask for specific examples from your past experiences to determine if you can provide evidence of your skills in a certain area – the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. The more recent the behavior, the better its predictive power. The more long-lasting the behavior, the better its predictive power. Prepare yourself for the probable skill areas the employer will be interested in and will, therefore, likely be asked about in the interview Stress interview means Being asked more than one questions at a time; Being asked further questions without being allowed adequate time to respond; Being questioned in an interrogatory tone and voice; Being asked an unrelated bunch of questions; Having his feelings provoked. Situational Interview This format is highly structured in that hypothetical situations are described and applicants are asked to explain what they would do in these situations. Interviewers may use a scoring guide consisting of sample answers to evaluate and score each applicant’s answers. Structured Interview This format combines the situational interview with a variety of other types of interview questions. Typically, each candidate is asked the same set of questions and their answers are compared to a scoring guide and rated. The goal of this approach is to reduce interviewer bias and to help make an objective decision about the best candidate Unstructured Interview Questions here are based on the individual’s application documents such as their résumé and so different variants of a question will be asked to each applicant. Without structured guidelines, the conversation can be free-flowing, thus making this method of interviewing the most prone to bias, but allowing the interviewer to get a more natural and perhaps more realistic sense of who you are.
