<strong>13 types of job interview questions and how to face them</strong>.<br />
<h4>
1. Screening Interview</h4>
Screening
is commonly the first step in recruitment process of the company after
application forms have been received. Its purpose is to assess generally
the skills and qualification of potential candidates and select out
those who lack necessary qualification or cannot meet job requirements.
Only those candidates who have adequately met job requirements or have
certain talents may pass this interview phase. This interview is
normally short and the candidates are supposed to prove themselves in
the briefest manner to qualify for the job.<br />

<h4>
3. Stress interview</h4>
Stress
is a physical term indicating the impact of one subject on the other.
Though it may sound rather strange, many experienced interviewers may
often use this interview method. In a Stress Interview, a number of
interviewers shall continuously by turn ask questions and cause pressure
on the candidates to evaluate their ability to handle high pressure.
Also, the goal of Stress Interview is to test the candidates’ ability to
work under a busy environment. Questions in a stress interview are
commonly relating to multi-task project, overtime working or conflict

Panel
Interview is a rather commonly used interview method. In such an
interview, candidates shall be requested to answer questions of several

ask the candidates to show their skills and qualifications or describe
again the details in their resumes, nevertheless. In addition, the
candidates may be asked to resolve a certain problematic situation
raised by the panel. In such a panel interview, the interviewers seek to
know how well a candidate can utilize his or her knowledge and skills
in real-life situation.<br />

that you have experienced in the past and based on your answer, they
will evaluate how well you handle such circumstances in the future.<br />

<h4>
9. One-on-One Interview</h4>
In
a One-on-One interview, you will participate directly in an interview
with one interviewer (normally who shall determine you are qualified or
not). You will come to this round after passing a panel or group
interview… and your abilities and skills have been proved qualifying.
And now, you have to face with one interviewer who will ask you very
specific about the job and yourself. To survive this interview, not only
you need to demonstrate your abilities and skills again but also you
have to know how to develop a friendly relation with the interviewer.<br />
<h4>
10. Follow-up Interviews</h4>
In
some cases, the number of applicants in a job may reach thousands which
means recruitment process has such a hard job to do. In such cases,
there may be a lot of “Screening” interviews to reduce the number of
candidates and you will have to pass these follow-up interviews to be a
potential candidate. There may be different interviewers as well.
Remember that patience plays a crucial role in these interviews.<br />

<h4>
11. Final Selection Interview</h4>
There
is always a final decision-maker during a recruitment process who will
decide if you are employed or not. Normally, in the third interview
phase, you will be met with this person. He or she shall personally
interview you with very strict questions. Only a few can manage to this
final interview with this person. Pass this and you get the job. Lose
it, you may lose the job, too; however, you will still be in the list of
potential candidates. Patience, Politeness, Professional and
Friendliness are the keys to succeed in this phase. The employer may ask
other people about you, even the receptionist any each member of the
interview panel. Just keep your head cool facing this VIP and you will
get your desired job.<br />
<h4>
12. Informational Interview</h4>
This
type of interview is more like a meeting between a candidate and the
interviewer to provide more information about the job and the company to
the candidate. Job-seekers shall be the ones who “interview” the
employers and the employers shall provide information about the job as
asked. The candidates may present their skills and qualifications to the
employers and ask if those are qualified for the job while the
employers may note down anyone whose qualification is remarkable.<br />
<h4>
13. Structured Interview</h4>
Normally,
Screening Interview is combined with another technique which is called
structured interview. Due to time limits, in structure interview, copies
of a questionnaire shall be given to all the applicants and require
them to fill in. Questions may be about specific duties of the job,
information about the company or the industry. Nevertheless, the answer
shall then be recollected and compared with others to select out those
most outstanding.<br />
