Answer
(a) Structured Interview — A structured or patterned interview is systematically planned in advance and is conducted in a pre-planned manner. The questions to be asked and the time to be allowed to a candidate are decided in advance. This is the most common type of selection interview.
(b) Group Interview — In this type of interview, a group of candidates is interviewed at the same time. They are given a problem or topic for discussion, and candidates express their views on the problem. The interviewers judge the views, communication skills, leadership qualities, and initiative taken by the candidates.
(c) Stress Interview — The purpose of a stress interview is to see how candidates react to awkward questions and difficult situations. The interviewer deliberately adopts a hostile attitude by asking questions rapidly, criticising the candidate, or interrupting frequently. The reactions of the candidate to stressful conditions are judged. If the candidate keeps his cool and responds calmly, he is selected. This type of interview is useful for jobs that involve high pressure and require emotional stability.
