There are specific steps and strategies that can assist you with interview preparation, but you must also understand the different types and methods of interviews. This assignment will help you differentiate between different types of interviews and assist you in preparing for an interview.

• What makes a behavioral-based interview different from other types of interviews?
• What steps will you take to prepare for the interview?
• What do you need to bring with you to the interview?
• What are 5 to 6 interview questions you will be prepared to answer in the interview? How will you apply the STAR process when answering these questions?
