So what you have here is basically a list of quite direct questions,

like what duties did you have in your previous job.

Then there is the case interview.

Here the interviewer presents a problem
在案例面试中,面试官提出一个大问题,
and a series of questions to find out how the candidate would approach the problem.

The third type is known as the behavioral interview.

The questions are usually designed to find out about how the candidates handle tricky situations in the past.

"Can you give me an example of a situation where you have to follow orders that you didn't agree with?"
