econd round interview is not top fear repetition and to re-iterate and re-tell compelling stories emphasising your’ Unique Selling Points. 5.The Third Round Interview Some companies may call you back for a third round interview in order to to be as close to 100% sure as possible that they are making the correct hiring decision. Again the personalities may change for the third round and you may even be introduced to co-workers for the first time. By the third round you will be expected to possess a lot more knowledge about the company than displayed in the first and second rounds. It is important to showcase this extensive research to prove to the interview panel that you have done your homework. Some companies may go to fourth and fifth round interviews and beyond. Generally, in Ireland however, the interview process does not go beyond three rounds. If the third interview happens to be your final interview (a good indication is if the owner or MD of the company is present), be sure to bring along a list of references in case you are offered the position straight away. 6.The Job Offer and Background Check The final phase in the process is usually a job offer contingent on your referees giving you a good reference and perhaps you providing scripts/copies of your relevant qualifications. For some positions and companies employers may insist on a background check to ensure you are who you say on your CV or that you have no criminal convictions. If you are happy with the package on offer, congratulations! you have a new job. If not there may be a bit of to-ing and fro-ing between you and your employer to be in order to guarantee the best package. Every company is different and the interview process varies from company to company. Some companies will make a decision based on the first round whilst others will make you jump through hoops in order to ensure that they are close to 100% sure, as possible, that they have selected the right candidate. Other companies may have video interviews or presentations as part of the process whilst many larger companies may insist that you complete aptitude tests. Treat these processes as fluid depending on eth company and position you are targeting, they may vary.
