It’s a two-way process; the interviewer aims to verify that the candidate’s qualifications, experience, character and style meet the job needs and the culture of the organization, while the candidate evaluates the position, the organization and the people with whom he/she will be working.  \nImpressive resumes, cover letters, degrees, qualifications and experience can get job candidates shortlisted for an interview.  \nHowever, only those who align themselves with the organization and convince the interviewers that they can successfully do the job, end up being offered the position. Such success, however, is unlikely to be achieved without preparation.  \nPreparing thoroughly turns an interview into an opportunity to confidently describe yourself and your accomplishments in a way that substantiates your career goals and aspirations. It can be the culmination of all your career planning efforts.  \nThe objective of the MFIN Interview Guide is to help you become a more confident, relaxed and successful interviewee by:  \n􀂃 Understanding different types of interviews.  \n􀂃 Understanding and effectively answering different types of interview questions.  \n􀂃 Identifying your unique marketability and exploiting your strategic advantage.  \n􀂃 Establishing professional presence in an interview.  \n􀂃 Understanding the general do’s and don’ts of interviewing.  \nMFIN INTERVIEW GUIDE | 1  \nCommon Interview Formats  \nThere are many different formats of interviews. These are a common few.  \nStructured Interview: The interviewer poses a series of selected questions. Companies adopt structured interviews in an attempt to maintain equity and fairness for all job candidates, by asking the same set of questions in every interview. A structured interview can feature behavioral, competency or scenario based questions in addition to commonly asked questions.  \nUnstructured Interview: A more casual , less formal interview format. The interviewer could start from a list of structured questions and then pick up on elements of what you say as the basis for further questions. Current events in the news and topical issues sometimes influence the questions, especially if they relate to the industry.  \nPanel Interview: Consists of three or more interviewers who usually take turns asking questions. This format is becoming more widespread, especially at the later interview stage, post initial screening. Panel interviews are efficient for employers because they create more internal support for the successful candidate. Panel interviews are typically planned and constructed carefully and moderated to give all the members on the panel a turn to ask their questions.  \nTechnical Interview/Demo: Usually features questions that are specific to the technical requirements of the job. The focus is on hard skills such as financial software tools, proficiency in a foreign language or industry related certificates, training and credentials. Technical questions also test the level up to which you’ve mastered relevant technical terms and concepts covered in your degree coursework. You may be asked to present a“demo”, i.e. produce a piece of work that demonstrates your technical proficiency or sit through a specific technical test or exercise.  \nInformal Interview: Sometimes referred to asa dining interview. Hiring managers or recruiters invite candidates out for a chat over a cup of coffee , or a meal. Instead of calling it an interview, the conversation maybe framed as an exploratory or informal meeting. In many cases, the purpose is to find out if you’re a good cultural fit for their team. You want to prepare for an informal interview just as any other, but be ready to switch from“interview mode” into “social/casual mode.”You’ll be expected to be sociabl","cbCaicDkSaM3WByH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicDkSaM3WByH","pdf",1349915,18,"English","# Introduction\n# Common Interview Formats\n## Structured Interview\n## Unstructured Interview\n## Panel Interview\n## Technical Interview/Demo\n## Informal Interview\n# Other Interview Formats\n## Telephone/Video Interview","[{\"question\":\"What are the main objectives of a job interview for the interviewer and the candidate?\",\"answer\":\"The interviewer verifies the candidate’s qualifications, experience, character, and style against job needs and the organization’s culture.
