Interview Types and Formats

Description

Wouldn’t it be good if everyone got over their interview nerves and used their interviews with prospective employers to present themselves as the professionals they are? Yes, but everyone has heard an interview horror story. These are actually uncommon, but the myths persist.

If you’re prepared and you know what you want to say about yourself, there is no real need to be nervous, no matter what type and format of interview you encounter. At best you’ll get the job you want. At worst, use it as an opportunity to improve your technique.

Whether or not you know in advance the type and format of the interview, your consultant at Proteus can walk you through the different scenarios. This session can cover the following topics but in practice your consultant will focus on what your personal needs are:
