2. Individual Interview Is a face to face two way communication between the interviewer and the respondents. Generally the personal interview is carried out in a planned manner and is referred to as ‘structured interview’. This can be done in many forms e.g. door to door or as a planned formal executive meeting.

4. Individual Interviews- Advantages Interviews use the participants' own words, views, experiences, feelings, and thoughts . It is possible to use probes during an interview in order to explore any issues that have been raised by the interviewee . Interviews may reveal issues that previously were thought to be unimportant, or not even considered, by the researcher . Interviews can take place at a convenient time and place - convenient for both the participant and the researcher .

5. Individual Interviews- Disadvantages Interviews are time-consuming, particularly in terms of the interview itself, the transcription of the interview, and the analysis of the interview . The quality of the data obtained from an interview is very much dependent upon the skill of the researcher and the openness of the participant to reveal themselves (often emotionally ). Interviews are a socially constructed situation, so what is said, discussed, or inferred during the interview must always be understood within that particular context . Sometimes, the participant may feel under pressure to say what she or he thinks a researcher wants to hear.

6. Group Interview There are two types of group interviews . The first type is when multiple interviewers ( sometimes called a group or panel) meet with and interview a candidate. The panel of interviewers typically includes a Human Resources representative , the manager, and possibly coworkers from the department where you would be working , if hired . The second type is when multiple candidates are interviewed at the same time by one interviewer (typically the hiring manager). In this scenario, you and other candidates would be interviewed together, in a group. Sometimes, a group interview combines both types of interviews: you might be interviewed with a group, by a panel of interviewers.

7. Why Group Interview ??? Employers hold group interviews for a number of reasons. Firstly, group interviews with multiple candidates are very efficient: they allow the interviewer to conduct multiple interviews at the same time. The interview might also includes multiple interviewers as a way to efficiently introduce a job seekers to all the people he or she would be working with. Companies may conduct group interviews because they show which candidates work well with others . A group interviewer will also show an employer which candidates will fit well with the company culture. Jobs involving high stress, fast-paced work , or customer interaction also commonly require group interviews.

8. How to Stand Out Be confident and respectful. You want to make sure your voice is heard during the interview, but you also do not want to dominate the interview. When you see an opportunity to speak, calmly do so, but do not cut other people off or appear too impatient and competitive. Be a good listener. An important part of working with a team is being a good listener . Listen carefully to what both the interviewers and your fellow candidates are saying (use body language to signal your listening). When you answer a question , refer back to what the person before you said, which shows you were listening . Try to quickly learn (and say) the names of the candidates and the interviewers , which will further demonstrate your listening skills. Be a leader. If you are working on a team project, find an opportunity to lead. This does not mean you should steamroll your group. Leading can be as simple as including everyone, and making sure everyone has a task. If you reflect on the project with the interviewer, be sure to give credit to your teammates .

9. Be yourself. While you should make your voice heard, do not feel like you have to be extremely vocal if you are shy. Answer questions thoughtfully – it is better to answer a couple questions with purpose than to talk a lot without purpose. Being a good listener who answers questions carefully can still set you apart from the group without forcing you to be someone you are not. Follow up. Be sure to send a thank you letter to every interviewer in the panel. Try to mention something specific about your interview to help the employers remember you.

10. Observation The act of passively observing an employee perform their job in order to gain insight into the demands and subtleties of the position or the way in which the individual carries out their job function and responds to stresses and demands. A well-known example of the observation interview is  of stand inspections in schools, where teachers are observed by an of stand representative and the school given an overall mark based on the findings of these interviews .

11. Hiding the observation, known as unobtrusive observation, may solve this, but can be legally shaky. Another form of observation is time allocation (TA), which attempts to observe someone in a particular time and place before they know they are being observed .
