TaythePA Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hey everyone! I was also invited for an interview on Friday August 28th! Reading through this year's forum, I'm curious as to the exact format of the interview. It seems lime it is more so just a group interview with ethical/situational questions. Quite different from the other interviews I've had this cycle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mave6 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I was invited to interview on Friday, August 28th, but it conflicts with another interview that I have scheduled. Has anyone had success asking for another interview date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found myself being swayed by other people's responses in the group interview and did not feel the questions were very personable either at NGU. My other interview had a small group panel but our decision was based off of our individual interview performances, but regardless I do wish you the best of luck on your journey! So was the interview format strictly a group interview and nothing else? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct only a group interview edit: I think it was 45 min total for interview but I had broken that up by 3 people, it could have changed now Edited August 18, 2020 by Lilithxp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the interview. With it being a group interview, I felt like my answers were often over shadowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel as though it takes away from getting to know each applicant on a more personal level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptokki Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well! I have an interview coming up this Friday and was reading the posts in this thread about the format. Does each applicant really talk for 15 minutes each? Is everyone just chiming in at different times for their answers or does everyone get an assigned turn? Also, did you guys feel prepared for the type of questions they asked? Or did you feel like the questions they asked were something you could have prepared/studied for? The feedback I read on here is that the interview format didn’t really seem personal. It sounds like there is less introspection involved on the applicant’s part about their own individual characteristics/personality, it sounds more like they focus on how the applicant problem-solves through ethical situations?

Yes, it's a group interview with two other candidates. Each person has an opportunity to answer the questions in turn. I personally felt like it was personal and I enjoyed it more than other virtual interviews. The questions were reasonable and there was a good variety of types of questions asked, personalized and situational. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
