Interviews can happen in many different ways. Sometimes, you’ll meet in person, while other times, you might have a phone or video interview. Some interviews are one-on-one, while others involve a group of people asking you questions. Since each format is different, you may need to prepare in different ways.
- How would you prepare for an in-person interview compared to a phone interview? What might you do differently?
- If you were doing a video interview, what extra steps would you take to make sure everything goes smoothly?
- How would you prepare for a group interview where multiple people are asking questions?
- What would change if you had to do an interview on short notice?
By thinking ahead and preparing based on the type of interview, you’ll feel more confident and ready to make a great impression.
