This is a traditional one-on-one interview where the interviewer asks questions based on your resume and cover letter. Their goal is to understand your skills and how well you'd fit into the company, and this is typically conducted directly by the hiring manager.

Phone interviews are usually done as a "screening" phase of the application process. Keep your answers short but impactful, using facts and examples. If the call is unexpected and you’re unavailable, you may politely ask them to reschedule. Stay focused, refer to your resume if needed, and have a pen and paper ready for notes!

Panel interviews involve multiple interviewers, often from different departments. Facing multiple interviewers at once can feel overwhelming, but don’t let it intimidate you. Treat everyone with respect and make eye contact with whoever asks a question! The key is to prepare as much as you can and be confident with your answers.

Behavioral interviews focus on situational and hypothetical scenarios to assess how you would handle challenges. Give clear, detailed answers, and don't be afraid to include the things you have learned. Review your resume prior to the interview and think about possible scenarios and/or issues that could arise that are in line with your position.

Situational questions often deal with your foresight and how you would handle future situations. Be honest and practical with your response. If it’s related to your field, include technical insights to show your expertise.

Common in consulting firms, case interviews test your ability to analyze and solve problems. You'll be given hypothetical situations and asked to explain what happened, why, and how you’d fix it. It's essential to properly state your assumptions, justifications, and possibilities.

Presentations / demos are one of the longesttypes of interviews. You'll typically be given a problem to analyze and will need to present your findings to a panel. To maximize the allotted time, it's best to divide the time into three parts: outline the problem, think of solutions, and solve the problem. Visuals like graphs also help communicate your ideas clearly.
