Job Interview Questions: How Can I Prepare for a Group Job Interview?

I've got a group job interview with a shoe shop later today. I feel better when it's just a one-on-one interview, and I'm feeling really anxious about it. Any tips?

Assorted Job Interview Techniques



Recommended Answer:
Group interviews are often used when several positions are being filled simultaneously. They differ from individual interviews in that the candidates might be asked to take part in group activities. Employers use such activities to assess how the candidates perform in a team environment and how well they interact with other group members.

1. Obtain a written job description from the company. Learn as much as possible about the job duties and responsibilities, so you will be better able to anticipate possible interview scenarios.

2. Research the company in advance. Review the company's website or go to the library and read all available newspaper clippings regarding the company.

3. Practice talking about yourself in front of a group of friends or family members. There is a good chance you will be asked to stand up in front of the group and introduce yourself and discuss your background.

4. Role play with a friend or family member. You may be asked to take part in a situation where you need to deal with an unhappy "customer," for example, so practice will not only sharpen your problem-solving skills, but will also help you stay calm if the role-playing situation arises.

5. Anticipate seizing a leadership role. Group interviews often require the candidates to work in teams to solve a problem, so by assuming a leadership role you can demonstrate to the employer that you possess those capabilities, which will help you stand out from your competition.

Job Interview: Are You Sending Red Flags And Eliminating Yourself?


  • Ok plan to deep breath-in-and-out just focusing on

    your breathing as you inhale and exhale 1/2 before the interview.

    Or go early and read or take a job related study book.

    A certain amount of tension is completely normal.
