What is a structured interview?

The concept of structured interview is defined as: according to the competency requirements of a specific position, following a fixed procedure, adopting a special question bank, evaluation criteria and evaluation methods, and evaluating whether the candidate meets the requirements of the recruitment position through face-to-face oral communication between the examiner team and the candidate.

Structured interview is an interview that carefully designs job-related questions and possible answers on the basis of job analysis, and grades them according to the speed and content of respondents' answers.

A more standardized interview form. Effective and reliable, but can't ask questions other than the set questions, which limits the depth of the interview. Moreover, the questions are arranged in advance, and the whole process seems unnatural, and the questions may seem abrupt.

Adequate preparation for structured interviews:

1, psychological preparation

For most candidates, especially fresh graduates who lack practical experience, it is normal to feel nervous and anxious in the face of a slightly mysterious interview with civil servants, but they must learn to adjust themselves. Candidates can adjust from both physical and psychological aspects, and strive to meet the interview with abundant energy and good attitude.

2. Image preparation

The examiner's first impression of the examinee is the overall image, so the image preparation of the examinee is also very important. Image preparation is to dress up, be natural, decent and generous, not be deliberately carved and affected, but be in harmony with your image, temperament and identity, and give the examiner a good first impression.

3. Preparation of knowledge and ability

The interview has no scope, but that doesn't mean that the interview can't be prepared. Targeted knowledge and ability training on the evaluation elements of structured interview is the most critical content in preparing for the interview. This kind of training can be carried out by the candidates themselves through repeated study and drills, or by participating in social training classes. When selecting training courses, candidates should take the level of training teachers and actual combat experience as the reference standard.
