From the screening, we move on to hiring/placement interviews. There are several of these, any one of which you should be ready for.

If the representative is the person who does the hiring, the queries will be specific. If the person is a human resources employee, the questions will often be more general.

Panel interviews consist of a team of two or more representatives of the company. You will need to think in terms of a team and adjust your answers in such a way as to emphasize that. Look each panel member in the eye while answering.

Sequential interviews stack appointments over the course of hours or days. These will be successive one-on-one affairs. You must sell yourself and your qualifications to each interviewer.

Lastly, stress interviews may be conducted. These gauge your reactions to stressful situations. You may be treated rudely, left to wait for a long time before an interviewer greets you or asked to take a quiz with an impossible time limit. A panel may interview you firing questions at you in rapid fashion. The most productive way to handle these types of interviews is to remain calm and focused.

As you can see, there are a variety of interviews you may face at any given time. Relax, prepare and calmly conduct yourself. Arm yourself with knowledge of the company and be very familiar with what answers you may give in these situations. Knowing what you might face is half the battle.
