24: The Interview Process – What You Need to Know

Companies interview because they want the best talent. When you get that email or call inviting you to an interview, you know you’ve made it to the next step in the selection process. Now that you have the interview, it’s time to prepare and be more familiar with the different kinds of questions and how the process may unfold for you. 

In this episode, I’m going to take you through the interview process and outline the different types of interviews, as well as “rounds,” and what you can expect at each stage. You will want to listen to this episode if you haven’t interviewed in some time or are looking for some additional information to help you prepare for whatever interview is next. Plus, I’m also going to walk you through the most significant change in interviewing that you must be ready to do well at – the one-way virtual interview.
