14 Job Interview Types (+ How to Prepare for Them)

September 6, 2025

Job interviewing has become lengthier and more complex. On average, candidates have three to five different types of interviews — a phone screener, a video interview with a recruiter, and then a couple more convos with the hiring managers.

However, for in-demand roles in top companies, the total number of interviews can be higher — at five to seven at Google, four to five at Bank of America, or five to six rounds for corporate positions at Apple.

What Are the Main Sections of a Resume?
