Depending on the position you are pursuing, It’s very vital to understand who is conducting the interview. you may have multiple rounds of interview with a variety of people in an organization. As you plan to answer questions you should also consider who is asking the questions.
Often interviewers are not trained so they rely on common questions they have heard in their own interviews. Depending on the individual and the position or role they have in the organization, they would be looking for different things. Let’s review what a Human Resource Manager, a Supervisor, and Co-worker might be looking for in an Interview.
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGER
A Human Resource Manager is often not the decision-maker in the hiring process, they, however, are responsible for ensuring a candidate has the basic qualification and is the fit for the position. They often are the first to talk you through what is called “SCREENING INTERVIEW”. They will 
ask you some basic questions to gauge your interest and knowledge of the organization and confirm basic qualifications.
SUPERVISOR
The Supervisor, on the other hand, is going to be looking for how you have excelled in your past experiences and test more on specific skills and knowledge you would bring to the job. They want to know you are thoughtful and committed to the company and job. Be quite knowledgeable about the specific role or you will not be able to fake your way through it. Be prepared with specific examples that showcase Skills, Knowledge, and Fit.
CO-WORKERS
Your Potential Co-worker will be concerned that you have the skills and knowledge for the job but they will be most concerned with the FIT. They will be the one spending the most time with you and wants to understand how you communicate and work on a team.
If you are going to be interviewing with multiple people in one day, an HR Manager does not provide you with this a schedule prior to your interview day, you can request this information. This will help you understand who is conducting the interviews and prepare for each interview you may have. For example, you might say, “to help me prepare for the interview, it will be great to have my schedule and who I might be interviewing with”. It’s that possible.
By knowing your schedule, you will prepare appropriately, and also make sure to address each person’s concerns and be sure to make the best impression during the interview.
