 Acing Any Type Of Interview

There are six different types of job interviews to master. Ford R. Myers, career coach, speaker and author of “Get The Job You Want, Even When No One’s Hiring,” (John Wiley & Sons, http://www.getthejobbook. com) highlights the six specific interview types to maximize your success.
 
“Interviewing can be best described as two-way storytelling. Provide the interviewer with accurate, relevant stories about your career achievements and job performance. In turn, the interviewer needs to tell you the story of the company, describe the position in question, and explain specifically how they want you to fit into their picture,” states Myers.
 
The following are Myers’s six interview types: Type 1: Informational: The purpose is learning about industry, company, people, skills required, cultural fit, and additional avenues of research or more people for you to contact. Type 2: Screening: Consider this a “live ammo exercise” to narrow the field of candidates. An outside recruiter or in-house human resources representative may do the screening.
 
Type 3: Hiring Manager: An in-depth look at an applicant to confirm desired requirements and/or technical abilities, motivation, and overall personal and cultural fit with the organization.
 
Type 4: Approval: A series of sequential interviews, formal and informal (such as over lunch), conducted by team members, peers, or colleagues in departments with whom you would interact. If everyone on the team gives you the “thumbs up,” you’ll have a good chance of getting a job offer.
 
Type 5: Group:A more formal and structured interview, conducted by a panel of three to five peers and the hiring manager involves behavioral interview methods, hands- on tasks, or an assignment to work on a real-time problem.
 
Type 6: Offer:Hiring manager or human resources representative formally offers the job to their top choice.
 
“In some cases, you’ll actually be taken through all of these interview steps before a hiring decision will be made - so be ready, and be patient,” adds Myers.
