When you get through resume screening (CV) and psychological test, you will come at the interview section. For some candidates, job interview is very stressful and uneasy. But for me, it is the best part I am waiting for. Why? Because this is the time to talk a lot, to build a good connection between the interviewer and me as applicant, then it is also the gold chance to promote my self so as they consider me in filling in the position offered. 

An interview absolutely could lead us to a formal yet please conversations. Yes, some say that in this phase, you need to show your best personal branding. On the other words, the only key is "Sell Your Self!". Agreed!

Based on my previous experience, I assume that job interview can be classified into three groups, there are psychological interview, HR (human resource) interview and user interview. 

1. Psychological Interview 

It is conducted by a psychologist which aims to assess your personality. The list of questions ordinarily are :

For instance the manager, head of department, the vice president even the president. A deep conversation will be occurred.
