Second
Interview
Advice from Matt & Nan DeLuca,
authors of the best sellers "Best
Answers to the 201 Most Frequently Asked Interview Questions"
on the second interview.
Now is the time to refer to any notes
that you made about the first interview. (If you did not take
notes afterwards, start this practice now. It will prove
invaluable when you are invited for a 2nd.) What were the
'tough' questions you had to face? Have better answers this time.
What were the areas of concentration in the interview? Most
screening interviews deal primarily with qualifying you in terms of
background, experience...having you 'pass' all the hurdles. If
your next interview is with a line manager (a non-HR person) your
potential --- what you can do for them --- should be more of an
emphasis. Update your research to show that you are interested and
knowledgeable. Look for news articles about the company and the
industry. Do you know anyone who knows someone who works for the
company for some behind-the-scenes insight? Have some strong
responses to the traditional questions: Why should we hire you?
What can you do for us? Look at your weakest areas in your
background: what can you offer to offset perceived potential problems?
If they made an offer, what would you accept? What else do YOU
need to know about the company, industry, or job to be in a position to
evaluate their offer. Do not forget--- the interview is a 2-way
street. This is your opportunity to evaluate them!
Structured
Interviews
Structured interviews consist of interview questions that have
been prepared in advance. The questions are derived from the job
requirements and asked in a specified order. Structured interviews
are typical for government jobs.
Team
Interviews
Team interviews typically involve the members of the vacant
position's work team in the job interview process.
