At this stage, the conversation is general and often via phone. The recruiter's task is to reduce the candidate pool to a manageable number. Your tone of voice, conversational style, and energy level are especially important during a telephone interview as the employer cannot see your positive body language. Be sure to make the call in a quiet location where you won’t be interrupted and where cell phone reception is dependable. Also have your resume and questions handy. Consider sitting at your desk so that you can simulate a face to face interview and project your voice.  \nZoom/MS Teams Interviews:  \nHere is a checklist for ensuring a successful online interview.  \n• Exchange emails and links and know who is connecting with whom, and send your cell to the interviewer.  \n• Be sure the Internet connection for your interview location is reliable.  \n• Do a test call the day before your interview to ensure good connection.  \n• Log in to the site prior to the interview so you are ready to go at the scheduled time.  \n• Should something go wrong, check all connections and remember to stay calm. Don't let this throw you off.  \n• Be sure there are no distractions around you during the interview especially loud noises.  \n• Be sure you have sent the interviewer your most recent resume.  \n• Dress professionally from head to toe. Even though they can't see you in person, this is important.  \n• Make sure the interviewing area where you are sitting is clean and organized.  \n• Interview the way you would if you were face to face.  \nFormal Interview:  \nInterviewers at this stage are typically those who will directly supervise or work with you. Keep in mind that your audience has changed. Depending on the situation, the employer's objective at this stage is to identify a few (2-5) finalists for the position or to make a hiring decision. This interview typically takes place on-site at the employer's office and involves several interviewers. Questions are a bit more penetrating, often requiring you to apply your experience to job-related situations. You will be expected to ask more sophisticated questions given all you have learned from your previous interview. Often, second interviews include a meal with your interviewers. Do not mistake it as less important than the other conversations during the day. Decline alcoholic beverages even if those interviewing you order them.  \nGroup:  \nYou may be interviewed by a group of individuals, perhaps a search committee or management team. The challenge here is to connect with all interviewers by maintaining eye contact with each member of the group as you respond to the questions. Bring several copies of your resume so that each interviewer can have a copy and do your best to obtain a business card from each interviewer. If you aren’t able to do so, you may have to call the administrator to ask for an individual’s email as you write your thank you notes.  \nRésumé Based:  \nResume based questions are most common and are based on specific components ofthe résumé . These questions are often phrased as \"Can you tell me about what you did (at your internship)?\" or \"What responsibilities did you take on as (Treasurer of your club)?\" To prepare for these, think about each item on your resume and what was important about each. What did you learn? How did you grow? What skills did you gain? Use specific examples from your experiences to answer these questions!  \nTheoretical:  \nQuestions such as \"What are your strengths ","cbCaii921HqiqCWM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii921HqiqCWM","pdf",266387,"English","# Types of Interviews\n## Screening/Phone\n## Zoom/MS Teams Interviews\n## Formal Interview\n## Group\n## Résumé Based\n## Theoretical\n## Behavioral\n# Preparing for Interviews\n## Research yourself\n## Research the contacts\n## Create a list of questions to ask\n## Speak with alumni/ae\n## \"Tell me about yourself...\"\n# The Day of the Interview","[{\"question\":\"What should candidates do to prepare for a phone or screening interview?\",\"answer\":\"Candidates should research and be ready with a quiet location, dependable cell reception, their resume, and prepared questions.
