Situational Job Interviews

Video Transcript

Okay, the next and last interview type that I'm going to talk about is the Situational interview and this is very different. This is more like you and your supervisor sitting down and having a meeting at work. So there's an informality about it. This is very much about discussing the job and whether or not you can do it. Some of the things that you talk about in a situational interview are your goals. They are interested in your five year plan, your three year plan, your seven year plan and how their job fits into those goals. This is where we take a look at your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the job and the company. If your weaknesses, you can't get to work on time or you take to much ownership in your work or whatever it is. Those things are discussed in relation to the job and that also goes with your strengths as well as your weaknesses and this is also where we really take a look at your experience and your accomplishments and you highlight those in relation to the job. So it's very much like, after you've been hired, and maybe the first time you sit down and have a chat with your boss, that's what this interview is all about and a lot of your more laid back companies will be very situational type interviews. You're probably not going to see this in your more formal companies like Law Firms and Banks but more casual maybe construction or possibly real estate but more laid back environments.
