5. Types of Interviews
Find out ahead of time what type of interview you
will have, who will interview you, and the jobs of
those interviewing you.
 Telephone (Screening) Interview
Try to arrange this on your time schedule so you can
prepare.
 Face-to-face Interview
This is the type we most typically prepare for.

6. Types of Interviews
 Stress Interview
The goal is to see how you handle stressful
situations.
 Behavioral Interview
Your past performance and behaviors are important.
Sample question: “Give me an example of a time
when you had to make a quick decision.”
 Sequential Interviews
A number of interviews held on the same day at
which you meet with different interviewers.
Ex: Job mela

7. Types of Interviews
 Group Interviews
You and other candidates are interviewed at the
same time. Your attentive behavior and smart
questions can get you an individual interview.

Preparing for Interviews

9. What to wear

10. What to wear
 Hair
Neatness counts!
 Jewelry
Not this! For women, tasteful earrings (one per ear),
a necklace and a watch are fine. For men, a watch
only is preferred.
 Fragrance
Less is best or, better yet, none at all. Your interviewer could be
allergic.

11. What to wear
 Attention to details is important. Avoid the sloppy look, iron your
clothes, no tennies or dandruff, and turn off your cell phone!

12. What to bring
 Professional-looking briefcase.
 Several copies of your resume.
 Copies of your cover letter.
 Nice (not cheap-looking) pen
and paper for note-taking.
 Information that may be needed in case you are
asked to complete a job application.
 Brush/comb.
 Breath freshener.

13. Be on time! This means not only don't be
late, but don't be too early, 10 minutes
early is good.
Smile  . Make eye contact and give a
firm handshake.
