What it is. A job interview is when someone who wants a job talks with someone from the company to see if they would be good at the job and if the company is a good place for them to work.

Super common choice. Interviews are one of the most popular ways that companies decide who to hire for a job, used much more often than many other selection methods.

Two main styles. Some interviews are casual and relaxed, where the conversation just flows naturally, while others are very organized with a specific list of questions asked in a set order.

Structure works better. Research shows that organized interviews with planned questions are actually better at predicting whether someone will be a great employee than casual conversations are.
