What is the interview process?

The interview process is a multiple-stage process for hiring new employees.

The stages mainly comprise job interviews held either one-on-one, with a group of candidates, or with a panel.

Interviews are conducted in person, over the phone or by email, or via video conferencing tools.

Like “Tell me about yourself,” this question is a common interview opener. Instead of framing your answer around what qualities and skills make you best for the position, your answer should group your qualifications by your past jobs and tell your career story.

You might choose to tell this story chronologically, especially if there’s a great anecdote about what set you on this path. Or, as with “Tell me about yourself,” you can begin with your present job then talk about what brought you here and where you’re going next.

Regardless, when you speak about your “past” and “present,” highlight your most relevant experiences and accomplishments for this job. Wrap up by talking about the future—connect your past and present together to show why this job should be the next one you add to your resume.
