Interviewing Types

“Types of Interviews”          (Sept. 29, 2008)

Representatives from major organizations come to the SU campus between September and April to interview Salisbury students for choice positions –it is critical to be well prepared.

>How to Access these Interviews:
Go to eRecruiting
and login. 
The easiest way to view all the on-campus interviews is to click on the Calendar link and select Calendar Search from the drop-down menu. 
Then select Interviews and all the interviews will appear. 
Click on the job for which you wish to apply and interview for.
There will be both Open Interviews and Pre-Screening Interviews.  The Open Interview is on a first come first serve basis as far as sign-ups go.  The Pre-Screen lets you apply but not sign-up for a time slot until the interviewer has had time to look at and screen your resume.  Once you have been selected you can ten go in and select a time slot.

TYPES OF INTERVIEWS
>Behavioral Interviews:

 >Case Interviews:
This style of interviewing is used most frequently by consulting firms. They have long been used to see a candidate’s thought processes in motion. (Can you analyze complex open-ended business problems )?  Click here for more information.

 >Interview at the organization’s site:
This is an interview to decide which applicants should continue in the process and to confirm the initial impression made by the recruiter who recommended the candidate.

 >Telephone screening Interview:
Employers may choose to conduct a telephone interview to screen applicants and make the first cut to determine if they want to arrange a face-to –face meeting.  Click here for more on telephone interviewing.

 >Informational Interview:
This interview is usually at your initiation and is one of the best sources for gathering information about what is happening in a particular occupation or industry is to conduct research with people working in that field.  Click here for examples of information interview questions you can ask.

 >Assessment/group interview/conference Interview:
Some employers (especially major retailers) include an assessment center or group discussion in their selection process. This technique is useful for evaluating and comparing applicant’s leadership potential.
