I just saw your post and I wanted to contribute something from my-side also.

There are many different types of interviews. Once you are selected for an interview, you may experience
one or more of the situations described below. When you schedule an interview, try to get as much
information as possible about whom you will be meeting. Note that it is rare to have only one interview
prior to a job offer. Most employers will bring back a candidate a number of times to be sure a potential
employee will fit into the company culture.
