types of interview The interviewer will go through your experience chronologically and you will be expected to expand on items in your application.
Structured, Criteria Based
The interviewer will ask a series of questions based on the skills and qualities required for the job and expect you to give examples of when you have demonstrated these attributes. This method examines your past behaviour as a predictor of future behaviour. This type of interview is much more common now than chronological, especially with large graduate employers.
If your degree is directly relevant to the job, you are likely to be asked detailed questions about aspects of it. The interviewer will be trying to determine if you possess the technical know-how to do the job, that you can apply technical theory to practical problems, that you have a genuine interest in the technology and that you can back up any claims of technical skills that you have made in your application.
Case study interviews are becoming increasingly common especially during interviews for management consulting firms. The aim of the case study interview is two-fold; firstly to see if the candidate is suited to the type of work the organisation undertakes and, secondly to give the candidate an opportunity to see if they enjoy this type of work.
