Purpose: Identify specific types of interview processes. This enables the student to understand the types of interviews used in the hiring process and to prepare for these interviews.

Instructions:

You have found a job that you would be interested in pursuing. In preparation for the potential interview process, prepare a list of potential questions that you might be asked during the interview and potential responses based on the following three common types of interviews:

Structured interview

Behavioral interview

Unstructured interview

For example, in preparation for a structured interview, you might think about and prepare 2-3 questions that might pertain to common situations that occur within the particular setting. For instance, if you are applying to an emergency department, a common question would be how do you respond to stressful situations and difficult people. Other questions might be related to handling human resource issues if the position requires supervision of others. In a behavioral interview, consider how your past experiences might help you in responding to this type of situation. To prepare for the unstructured interview, consider how you might relate your key strengths and experiences that make you qualified for the role.
