Can be written or oral , based on the nature of the job u apply to. Some jobs need oral questions testing your abilities of speaking for example , and others written questions testing your abilities of writing and so on
oral , for the eye contact and to ensure spontaneity
oral is better to expres yourself
There can several steps a written exam then an oral interview coz each reflect certain points
oral in the most important for interview, you can express by your face.It gives you judgement about spontaneity, flexibility, confidence,reaction and behaviour when you answer questions
It depends on the question , some questions need a quick oral answer & others need more time & written ..some interviews have both of them .
they are both of great importance,each is directed toward one area of your abilities,specialities,knowledge,attitude,carisma,communicationg skills......etc.
you must understand that some people are not at their comfort zone when it comes to oral and these are the type of people who are applying for back office or supportive jobs including technical desciplines.
while front office people don't feel comfortable with written tests as they are really people and communication oriented people,such people are sales,marketing,media ...people.
if i was an HR manager i would base our strategy and tactics for interviews based on the position.
being in marketing and sales i personally would be more comfortable with oral,i can be more convincing and perform better.
If interview is about understanding the candidate, Oral interview is the best. Body language, spontaniety, IQ, intonation of the candidate can be determined with a one-one interview. Written interviews will require plans on the question and then time to evaluate the answers.
Both, more weightage would however go to oral. Once again, depends on the role.
First preference is oral then written. Both are important to identify right candidate.
