Many employers use a range of selection tools to help them identify the best candidates for their position. They may use:
- Screening interviews - often using an automated video system
- Online psychometric testing
- Individual telephone or face-to-face interviews
- Panel interviews
- Group or team interviews at assessment centres
- Final interview
Approach your interview positively. This is your chance to show employers what you can bring to their organisation. It is also the chance to find out more about the role and the organisation to help you determine if it is right for you.
Resources
The Ultimate Guide to Job Interview Questions helps you prepare for the key questions you often face in interviews. The guide is developed by Pamela Skillings, from the online training site ‘Big Interview’. Pamela has been named ‘a guru in the world of job interviews’ by The Wall Street Journal.
The online interview training site Big Interview combines training and practice to help improve your interview techniques and build your confidence. It is available free for JCU students, staff and alumni.
NOTE: To access additional Big Interview resources for free it is important, when registering, to use your JCU email address.
Preparation is vital - check out our resources:
- The Employability Edge program has a module on Contemporary Recruitment Processes.
- Use Big Interview to learn interview strategies and practice, record and review your responses to interview questions.
- Download our information sheets on Interviews and Phone Interviews.
In addition to interviews, employers may use a range of testing methods for further insight into an applicant’s personality, motivations and abilities. The Aptitude Tests and Assessment Centres information sheet will help you to prepare.
