Face to Face with Your Competition
Approaches to Group Interviews (student)
+
The group interview is a relativity new approach to job interviews that involves assessing a group of applicants completing some kind of common, group or problem solving exercise. Employers use this approach to assess the personal efficacy of individual job applicants placed in a group exercise, in order to ascertain the way they can work in teams and groups. Depending on the actual job descriptions involved, observers assess the applicants using a checklist to rate their qualities in a group setting where interaction is the focus.
