One-on-one interview
Smaller companies most commonly carry out this type of interview. One person, who invariably has the final decision-making power, interviews candidates. These types of interviews tend to be more informal, but this will depend on the employer's style. The interviewer will have a series of prepared questions that her or she will ask all candidates. In this type of interview it is absolutely imperative to maintain eye contact with the interviewer. It is not unusual for an employment offer decision to be made there and then at this kind of interview. Fortunately or unfortunately, a large determining factor of the employment decision is more question of personality than anything else.
