3 rounds A job interview is a meeting between a job candidate and an interviewer, who is typically a manager, human resources personnel, another representative of the employer or the employer. This meeting is held to help assess whether the applicant is the right person for the role. The employer uses a job interview to find out what you can do for the company in terms of your qualifications and the potential contributions you can provide. An interview also allows you to determine whether this is an environment in which you can thrive and you want to enter. Interviews can be conducted in person, over the phone, via email or using video conferencing applications, and it's common to attend two to three rounds of interviews before a final hiring decision is made.
