Interview Types

Brought to you by ResumeEdge—the premier resume writing and editing service on the Web.

All job interviews have the same objective. But employers reach that objective in a variety of ways, through different interview types.

You might enter the room expecting to tell stories about your professional successes and instead, find yourself selling the interviewer a bridge or editing code at a computer.

One strategy for performing your best during different interview types, is to know the rules of the games you are playing when you walk through the door.

The following will help you to determine the rules of the game for each of the interview types listed.
