What happens at an informal interview?

Answer by  tamarawilhite (17883)

An informal interview has more conversational flow, with the interviewee able to ask more questions of the interviewer. However, it is still an interview, not a casual chat. If you are more at ease, you are more likely to say something contradictory if your resume was embellished.

Informal is, my opinion, a way to but the interviewee at ease. That's how an employer wants you! When you are relaxed you "give-up" more information. I do not believe there is really such a thing as an "informal" interview. Good Luck!

At mine, it was very relaxed. I gave him a little of my background. We joked around some and talked a little football. I also asked some minor work-related question, such as job duties, environment, sales, etc, to which he reponded naturally and quite eloquently. But there was no tension, just 2 people talking. It was great!

An informal interview, also called a screening interview, is done to get a general idea of the applicants' background. Some basic questions concerning experience will be asked.
