What is an "open" interview?

What is an open interview like at dsw?

• Answer:

  The Open Interview The Open House Interview (also called Open Interview ) gives a company the opportunity is to interview/screen a group of potential candidates at one location. There is normally a morning and afternoon session. If there is a choice, we recommend scheduling the morning session, since interviewers are freshest and friendliest in the morning. I provided below comments from four (4) people for interviewed at DSW, interview questions, group /panel interview and one on one interview. The website is called glassdoor.com containing valuable information about most well know companies, interviews, jobs and employee comments from people who currently are employed or previously worked at the company. TIP- Classic questions you can expect during this type of interview are the “Tell me about yourself… ”, “Why did you apply for this position?”, “Why should we hire you?”, etc. A open interview is where several, who they believe to be potential employees, are called at the same time for a interview.

Which I suppose counts as a group interview, but there were supposed to be 5 of us. The questions were standard get-to-know-you type and the interview itself lasted for about 25 minutes. The one on one interview was a week later and with the store manager. She didn't really ask any questions, but rather instructed me to ask questions and talk about myself. I did that for about 20 minutes and left. I received a call with an offer 5 days later after they checked my references and did a background check. Interview Questions Tell me about yourself.

It took about an hour, but we were in a group of four and we were asked basic interview questions.
