Typical Interview Process

The best way to prepare about the position is to understand:

- Job description as mentioned in Job Notification. Make sure you cover all points mentioned in the job description and research as much as possible.

- Identify how your profile matches to this job description. You should be confident about every point you have in your profile. Eventually the goal of the hiring organization is to do a fitment check. Prepare before hand how you will fit in that organization.

- Typical format of an interview is Screening (over phone) by HR, Phone Interview with (someone from hiring organization), Face to face interview (several interviews in increasing order to designation or panel interviews), final phone interview (not in all cases but in some cases a follow up interview is done ..probably because more determination is made where the candidate will fit and that manager wants to know more). Offer.

- If you are Project Manager and looking for a Project / Functional role then other than your technical background which would need brush up , you must go through PMBOK.

Rest depends on specific organization you are looking at, research as much as possible.
