The Lion’s Pride: Interviewing

All Shapes and Sizes

Back in the day, you could get good-paying jobs by sitting across the desk from someone. One conversation. A handshake and a hearty "welcome on board!"

For good or ill, that just doesn't happen much anymore. If you've been out of the job market for the last few decades, modern interviews may throw you for a loop.

They needn't, though. Just be prepared. Here are a few different kinds of interviews you will likely face:

Phone. This is often the first step for hiring managers and human resource departments. You won't usually get a job based on a phone interview, but you can lose one. Practicing your phone manner will increase your odds of making the cut.

Face time. This is familiar to most, as it's the most traditional form of interviewing. You will usually have more than one interview, though. Most professional-level jobs require three or more interviews, including...

Panels. Across the table or desk, there will be three or more people, all of whom will interview you, sometimes letting you answer before another asks more questions, sometimes not. Panel interviews tend to induce profuse sweating. Quick word of advice: practice the panel interview.

IN THE CARAVAN: Interviews have changed over the years, but you increase your odds of success by practicing the different styles.
