As we all know, no one can get a job without crossing the most important hurdle – the job interview. The job interview is actually a dialogue carried out between the interviewer and the interviewee wherein the interviewer is the leader of the conversation. Job interviews have always been the most widely accepted method for selecting candidate for a specific job role. It does not last for more than an hour or so, wherein the interviewer asks the questions to get a better understanding of the interviewee. Be it through pre-screening phone interview, regular phone interview, one-on-one, face to face interview, or a panel interview. The employer interact with the prospective employee in order to learn/observe his/her qualities. Needless to say, it is arguably one way that enables an employer to dig deep into an applicant’s psyche, match his observations with the job requirement and compare it with the pre-employment screening tests observations to finally make a sound decision. Most of the times, the first round is a screening process. Employers conduct screening interviews to filter out the unwanted or ineligible candidates. Screening interviews are conducted over the phone, so it is very important to make a good impression in order to be selected for the next step: the in-person interview. In addition, if you are applying for administrative jobs, sales jobs, or customer service jobs, this is an excellent way for an employer to determine the level of your telephone effectiveness. The third step is one-on-one, face to face interview. A face to face interview is a dialogue: do not let the conversation shape into a one way street talk.

In the panel interview (also called a group interview, the candidate generally meets with an interviewing panel – the supervisors and some other team members. In most cases a group of candidates are interviewed together by the panel. The panel interview is a discussion about a situation, the most often a dilemma, which is presented to a team of candidates. The team is required to solve this situation.  In an interview in which a single candidate is interviewed in front of a panel, the questions asked may be very similar to those in a one-on-one interview. The questions are selected to check the candidate’s performance in front of people. The job interview is a turning point in our life and it always plays a key factor in the hiring process. The job interview is quite an important part of a person’s professional as well as personal life.
