Answer to Question 1

Answer: More employers and job interviewees are using iPhone and Web cams to conduct job interviews. Firms have long used the Web to do selection interviews (particularly the initial, prescreening interviews), and with the widespread use of Skype-type products, their use is growing. Most firms do not eliminate face-to-face interviews, but the video interviews do reduce travel and recruiting expenses, and make things easier for candidates. With employers cutting their recruitment budgets, more are conducting at least the initial screening interviews over the Internet.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Selection interviews can be classified according to 1) how structured they are, 2) their content, and 3) how they are administered. Structure can range from unstructured to structured. Content classifications are situational or behavioral. Examples include job-related interviews and stress interviews. Interviews can be administered by one person or by a panel of interviewers. Interviews may also be computer-administered.
