Face-to-face, one-on-one interviews are the most common type you will encounter. The applicant and the employer meet, usually at the company offices, to discuss the position and the candidate's skills, knowledge, and abilities—in other words the ''fit" between you and the job opening. While a screening interview is likely to be conducted by someone in human resources, subsequent interviews are more likely, though not necessarily, conducted by someone from the department where the position is open.
This person may be a department manager for lower and mid-level jobs and someone from upper-management—perhaps a vice president—for high level positions. If the interview is conducted by someone from the department with the open position, you can expect the interviewer to ask many specific job-related questions. If the interviewer is from human resources, the questions may be more general.
