Screening
Many employers conduct a preliminary interview to determine whether you're a viable candidate for the job.
First interview
Typically, the first interview is the first face-to-face meeting with your potential employer. Their goal is to get to know you and assess your skills and experience in relation to their needs for this particular role.
Second interview
If you've succeeded in impressing them in the first interview, you may be asked to return for a second meeting.
Third interview
Some employers prefer to conduct a third interview to help them make a final decision
The decision
The final step in the interview process, if the company wants to hire you, is usually a job offer contingent upon your background check and references.
