In a group interview,several applicants interact in the presence of one or more company representatives.This approach may provide useful insights into the candidates' interpersonal competence as they engage in a group discussion.In a board interview,several of the firm's representatives interview a candidate at the same time.Companies use the board interview to gain multiple viewpoints because there are many cross-functional workplace relationships in business these days.In the stress interview,the interviewer deliberately makes the candidate uncomfortable by asking blunt and often discourteous questions.The purpose is to determine the applicant's tolerance for stress that may accompany the job.During an interview,the interviewer seeks additional job-related information to complement data provided by other selection tools.The interview permits clarification of certain points,the uncovering of additional information,and the elaboration of data needed to make a sound selection decision.The interviewer should provide information about the company,the job,and expectations of the candidate.Other areas typically included in the interview are occupational experience,academic achievement,interpersonal skills,personal qualities,and organizational fit.
