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.
