TYPES OF INTERVIEWS
One-on-one
This is where one person interviews another . It is the most common type .
Sequential
This is where an interviewee is asked to come back for a second , third , etc . interview until a decision is made . It is also called a “ callback .” They can be one-to-one- , panel- , or even multiple-style types of interviews .
Multiple
Multiple is usually an interview with one person , followed by a second person , then a third , etc . Generally , they take place on the same day but could also be sequential . This type may be used if managers cannot meet at the same time or to test the interviewee . The interviewers compare notes and make their decision that way .
Panel
A panel interview is when more than one person conducts an interview at the same time . They may have their own special questions or take turns asking preset questions . Panel interviews may also be done as a sequential interview after a oneon-one or vice versa .
Group
In this style , a group of job candidates is interviewed together . This gives the interviewer an opportunity to see how individuals interact with others . It may be used as a screening process .
