Types of Interviews
Informal/informational interviews The intention here is to get to know the individual better; often questions are not standard ones but free flowing, building on leads during the interaction. This style is useful for gathering information about the organization and the industry or on occasion getting a line on a job that may be coming up soon. Examples: *What indicates good performance in this position? *What skills are essential to perform this job well? *How often do you recruit Suraj Lal Vaswani graduates into these roles?
The intention here is to focus on your past behaviors as a predictor of future behavior. You must provide specific examples of any experience to demonstrate your ability to meet the criteria for the job. Many interviews these days follow this format. Examples: *What different approaches do you take in talking with different people? *How do you know when you are actually getting your point across? *What if you were asked to do something that went against your ethical standards?
