Normally, you will be interviewed by two or three people. One of these will be a representative from the HR Department. The Manager or Supervisor of the relevant department will also be a member of the panel. The letter inviting you to come along for interview will give you the names and job titles of those on the interview panel. Some interviews will include a work-based test or sometimes a short presentation. Again, such details will be outlined in your letter of invitation.
