Hi there! Last two days I was talking about how to face for a normal face to face interview. Apart from the normal interviews, there are some other types of interviews which are getting popular lately. Let's identify some of them (most popular ones ) and learn how to face them confidently.
Skype interview.
As the name says, you have to face the interview through Skype.
The trick to facing a Skype interview confidently is treating it just like a real interview even though you’re not doing it in person. If you want to really succeed, then dress up just as if you were going to a real interview, leave a copy of your resume and cover letter on your desk, and make sure you’re in a quiet place with a good internet connection. Some important points to remember:

Some important points to remember:
- Pick a location with flattering lighting so your interviewers can really see you and read your expressions.
- Close your email and social media windows that are likely to distract you during the interview.
- Check that your microphone and video chat works in advance.
- Practice by trying to chat with a friend the day before.
Phone interview.
Many companies have an initial phone interview to get a better idea about their top applicants before they invite them for the interview. This saves time for them and gives them a better understanding of each candidate.
You should treat this type of interview just as a real interview. Have your notes in front of you and find a quiet place and good reception so you can have a meaningful conversation over the phone.

- Make sure to be professional and considerate in all of your responses.
- Remember that, since your interviewer won’t have visual indications, you’ll have to work extra hard to paint a picture of who you are with words.
Group interview.
Sometimes, you may be invited to a group interview so that your interviewers can interview more candidates at once and so they can get a better sense of how you interact with other people.

- Don’t try to put down other interviewees in order to make yourself look good. Instead, be kind and supportive toward them while making it clear that you’re the best candidate for the job.
- If there are group activities during the interview, try to take a leadership position. But Don't be bossy. Give others the chance also.
