the purpose of a hiring interview

The hiring interview can take place in a couple of ways. First, a human resource or direct manager calls to offer you the position. This is a straightforward approach, one that you are probably experience in the past. Second, you receive a call to interview with a "higher up." This interview can be a traditional one, where no offer is planned, or it can serve as a hiring interview. You won't know which one it is until you attend the meeting.

The hiring interview is the final stop on the series of interviews. This is when you meet the head person of the department or the company. The hiring interview is simply a formality. The hiring decision has already been made. The catch is that you don't know you are on a hiring interview until you offered the position on the spot because you can meet the head decision maker as part of the first, second, etc, interview. 

interview questions to expect

Though every hiring interview is different, normally the hiring interview lasts less than 15 minutes. You can expect the following:

The executive starts off with positive information she's heard about you and that many people in the organization are taken with your qualifications and experience. The she asks a series of questions:

what happens next?

After a series of quick questions, the executive offers you the position and provides a brief overview of the salary, benefits, and compensation. At that time, you can accept or you can ask for time to think about the offer. 

The decision to accept the position on the spot is up to you. If the executive asks you to sign a contract, then it's strongly advisable you ask for a few days to mull things over and get an employment lawyer to read over the contract.
