BANGALORE: Congratulations, your job search has finally paid off and you have landed a job interview. But this is not the time to celebrate or get excited, as you have only crossed the first hurdle. Now it’s time for an interview with the potential employer and it is essential for you to sail through the screening process with flying colors to land a job offer.



At this point of time you must be concerned about the interview process and the things you need to say to impress the recruiters? To help you we have put together a list of different types of interviews and ways to sail through them, as reported by Kristen Wishon of Come Recommended.



1. Informational Interview: An informational interview is your opportunity to know more about the company, specific job, industry or a specific person by interacting with a veteran in the field. It also helps you to develop a relationship with a professional in the industry, expand your network and possibly garner a job interview in the near future.



Be well prepared and approach an informational interview as usual. Carry out some research about the organization prior to the interview process and come up with a list of discussion points and questions to help things run smoothly. If necessary take some notes during the interview and exchange business card to keep in touch. But be wary and don’t be aggressive about landing a job.
