Stepping into any interview can be a daunting experience, especially if you\u2019re unsure of what to expect. Thankfully, preparing for an interview properly can help you relax beforehand and prove yourself in what would otherwise be a stressful situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To many budding job seekers\u2019 surprise, there are many types of interviews that your potential employer could throw at you. From behavioural interviews and one on ones to case interviews or something more situational \u2013 we\u2019re here to help you understand how each one\u2019s going to work and how best to prepare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One to one interviews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One to one interviews are by the far most common interview type you\u2019ll be likely to face. This is normally because one to one interviews are the default style that many companies will use for the majority of their roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, one to one interviews can be broken down into two varieties but they do also combine into one for many companies. The first subtype of one to one interviews is the structured approach. Here, you\u2019ll be asked a predetermined set of questions that are designed to effectively evaluate your skills in areas that are relevant to the position you\u2019ve applied for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though it\u2019s not commonly seen, you may be walking into a one to one unstructured interview. In this situation, the interviewer will ask you a wide range of questions and the interview may seem more like a friendly conversation. In reality, this method alone isn\u2019t very good at determining candidates\u2019 capabilities so you may just get a little bit of this at the end of a structured interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Behavioural interviews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An interviewer has one main priority and that\u2019s to ensure they only select the right person for the job. This is where behavioural interview types can come in handy for uncovering a candidate\u2019s past to predict how future situations might play out. Obviously, this isn\u2019t an interviewer getting out a crystal ball but they will ask you some difficult questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prepare to be asked about your worst professional mistakes or any workplace confrontations. Don\u2019t be afraid to speak the truth as long as you carefully describe the situation, how you overcame it and the lessons you learned from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your interviewer is a human being they will understand that everyone makes mistakes and has to deal with problem from time to time. This type of interview isn\u2019t designed to trip you up, it\u2019s designed to see if you\u2019ve learned from life lessons when you\u2019ve have the chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Situational interviews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While behavioural interviews are designed to predict your future behaviour from your past performance, situational interviews focus solely on your future performance. Preparing for an interview of this type can be more challenging as you will probably be given a hypothetical problem to solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interviewers are really trying to see how you handle a challenging problem or a difficult moment in the workplace. Try to imagine being in a stressful position at your new job where you may be in a position of blame, have to be the bearer of bad news or overcome a highly stressful situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you answer the question honestly, concisely and include any terms that are relevant to your role. The key here is remembering to remain calm and maintain a very direct approach to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Case interviews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When a company wants to know how you would solve a specific business problem they will likely invite you in for a case interview. These types of interviews typically require you to think on the spot like a situational interview or prepare a presentation for evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you thoroughly research the company you\u2019re being interviewed by and take a look at some case interview example questions to help you prepare. Lastly, consider who you\u2019ll be speaking to and the type of professional responses that will be expected from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stepping into any interview can be a daunting experience, especially if you\u2019re unsure of what to expect.
