The Norine recruiter contacted you and scheduled an interview for today. You arrive at the interview location and find that there are five other candidates also awaiting an interview. When the interviewer comes out to usher you into the interview room, all the candidates are shown into a conference room. The other five candidates and you are seated on one side of the table. A company representative occupies the seat across from you all, and the interview begins.What type of interview is described in the scenario?
a. Panelb. Group
c. Screening

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Group.

Explanation:

The group interview is, as its name suggests, that in which a group of people participate, rather than just one. It is very similar to the panel interview, although in this case the applicant is interviewed successively by different people who belong to different areas and, therefore, you should know some of the questions in a group work interview. In this type of interview it is quite frequent that there is a company psychologist.

Each interviewer will evaluate the candidate according to his own criteria and, once the interviews are finished, criteria will be unified and a common decision will be made on the suitability of the candidate.
