Congratulations, you've been invited to interview for a position! Whether you're interviewing in person, virtually, or over the phone, there are lots of factors to consider. The Career Center has you covered with bookable interview rooms, sample questions, and access to resources like Big Interview that help you practice your responses ahead of time.

Types of Interviews

Behavioral Interviews

The most common type of interview, behavioral interviews require you to discuss your past experiences by asking you to provide specific examples of how you have demonstrated certainbehaviors, skills, and abilities.

Case Interviews

Case interviews are used by consulting companies and other firms to assess your problem-solving abilities. Interviewers in these situations will observe your thought process and assess your confidence and communication skills under pressure.

Technical Interviews

Technical interviews require candidates to demonstrate a particular skill set or knowledge that relates to the job, such as writing code for a computer programming position. They are commonly used for roles in science, technology, and engineering.
