Interviews can be conducted in person, over the phone, by email, or via video conferencing tools. They can be one-on-one, with a group of candidates, or with a panel. Most job interviews can be broken down into three phases: introduction, getting to know you, and closing. To start an interview, the interviewer can introduce themselves, provide some background on the company, and give an overview of the role the candidate is interviewing for. They can also help reduce the candidate's stress by explaining the steps in the interview process and building rapport before asking questions.
