learn more about a particular career field, employer, or job. Interviewing experts in their field is
one more way to become more occupationally literate. The knowledge that you gain here will
make you sharper and more informed. You will also make a contact and further develop your
network.

last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. Prepare for it like an open book exam. The vast majority of
communication is non-verbal. It is critically important to have positive and polished answers
with energetic tone and inflection.

interview." It is typically a one-on-one exchange at the organization's offices. Can usually range
from 30 to 90 minutes.
Small Group or Committee Interview correct answers Meeting with several decision-makers at
once. An efficient way to interview candidates and allows for different interpretations or
perceptions of the same answer. Establish rapport with each member of the interview team by
making eye contact with everyone.
, The Second or On-Site Interview correct answers A "second date." They like you enough that
you made the first round of cuts, but they would like to know more about you before making
their final decision. Can last either a half or full-day. May be meeting with 3-5 individuals. The
last step before an offer is made.
Behavioral-Based Interview correct answers The theory behind Critical Behavioral Interviewing
is that past performance in a similar situation is the best predictor of future performance. CBI
probes much deeper than traditional interviewing techniques. You should prepare by thinking of
specific examples that demonstrate your competence in core behaviors. You will want to tell your
story and structure it by stating your answers in terms of the situation, the task, what action you
took, and what was the result or outcome.
Task Oriented or Testing Interview correct answers A problem-solving interview where you will
be given some exercises to demonstrate your creative and analytical abilities. Could be a short
test or a presentation.
Stress Interview correct answers A rare type of interview where the interviewer tries to bait you
to see how you will respond. The objective is to find your weaknesses and test how you hold up
to pressure. Such tactics as weird silences, constant interruptions, and challenging interrogation
with antagonistic questions are designed to push your boundaries.
3 Types of Interviews for Research correct answers Structured, Exploratory, Semi-Structured
Structured Interview correct answers All questions are asked in a predetermined order from a
prepared schedule and all the interviewers involved strive to ask each question in the same way
and with the same emphasis.
Exploratory Interview correct answers The question areas are pre-determined but the respondents
are allowed some latitude to answer in their own way and the interviewer may probe for more
information in promising areas. Is particularly valuable at the early stages of a project to identify
issues and find out what concepts and terminology various groups of people use.
