The group interview is a relativity new approach to job interviews that involves assessing a group of applicants completing some kind of common, group or problem solving exercise. Employers use this approach to assess the personal efficacy of individual job applicants placed in a group exercise, in order to ascertain the way they can work in teams and groups. Depending on the actual job descriptions involved, observers assess the applicants using a checklist to rate their qualities in a group setting where interaction is the focus. This serves as a useful contrast to the aspects uncovered in an individual job interview or an individual being interviewed by a group or panel of people. Ultimately this demonstrates the importance of effective preparation for a job interview no matter what approach the interview takes.
