Structured Interview (may be called "Oral Board" "Oral Interview," or "Oral Resume Exercise") usually has the interview questions/scenarios presented spontaneously to the candidates by the interviewers/assessors, but some formats allow for responses to be developed during a preparation period in which the candidate is given all or some of the questions/scenarios. The questions can vary in form. Situational questions are hypothetical scenarios (dealing with ethics, organizational issues, personnel management problems, or tactical incidents). General/Organizational questions can involve the candidate's traits/characteristics as well as probing the candidate's knowledge about the agency/organization and its procedures. Experience-Based questions ask the candidate to discuss his/her real-world past experience and handling of problems/events. The Oral Resume question is experience-based, but its format allows the candidate to discuss any past accomplishments, achievements, or experiences he/she feels is indicative of his/her readiness or preparation for the target job. This module includes 110 practice questions.
