There are many types of interviews.There are analytical interviews, general interviews, behavioral interviews and so on. Typically, the first interview is conducted by a human resource personnel. If you overcome the first obstacle, you will then be questioned by several more people. In some companies the second interview is usually a panel interview while in other companies it is conducted by an employee of the company you are applying at. The interviewer in the second interview can be your future colleague.

The questions for the second interview are more specific and more detailed. The second interview questions are normally more focused on your desired industry and the position you are interested in. This requires more rehearsal, preparation and research. The second interview offers you the opportunity to show to the employer that you have learned something from your first interview. So, ponder on your first interview. Learn more about the position and communicate your ability that meets the requirements.

One of the common degrees today is nursing. In some countries in Asia, there is a rise in the number of teenagers enrolling for a nursing education. This demand increases the rivalry among nursing graduates. Some will be lucky and other will not. However, you do not need luck if you can perform well in your job interview. In order to achieve this, think first what the employer is expecting for in a candidate. Be very particular and learn from your first interview.

In a second interview, expect discussions about the position you are applying for, about the salary grade, and about the work schedule. On the day of the interview, one of the employers might give you a tour of the company. Furthermore, you may be introduced to other colleagues in your future office. If things go smoothly, you might even get a proposal to sign an employment contract. To be a competitive applicant, you should be prepared to the following questions:

· Have you ever tried breaking a rule before? Can you expand it further?
