The Four Interview Styles: Are you a Charmer, Challenger, Examiner or Harmonizer?

You aren’t bad at job interviews; you were just never taught. Did you know that 90% of people are NEVER trained to interview. At its core, a job interview is a set of questions about you. If you don’t know yourself, you won’t succeed. And it’s the same for hiring managers – knowing yourself, your biases and your preferences will help you hire better. Join Anna Papalia, author of Interviewology: The New Science of Interviewing and career influencer with over 4 million followers, as she shares the 4 interview styles. Anna goes beyond generic advice and offers insight on how each style influences how you view and approach interviews, and ultimately how you perform in them.
