HOW long should a job interview last?

Answer:

On average, perhaps 40 minutes.

But some take longer if you have multiple interviewers or even a group job interview.

A 'normal' interview will include:

  • A welcome and some rapport building conversation -- up to five minutes
  • Finding out about you, the interviewee, though your answers to interview questions -- about 30 minutes
  • Answering any interview questions you have and telling you more about the job -- 10 to 15 minutes
