Answer to Question 1

Answer: Show keen interest in the job, relate your skills and experience to the organization's needs, listen attentively, and ask insightful questions to show that you've done your research.
Make sure to emphasize how your skills and abilities will be a valuable addition to the company during the selection stage of the interview process.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: In structured interviews, the employer asks a series of prepared questions in a set order. In less formal open-ended interviews, the employer asks broad questions, encouraging the applicant to talk freely.
You can prepare for both types of interviews by considering commonly asked interview questions and developing brief answers as well as examples that illustrate your skills and abilities.
