Essentially there are 4 ways of selecting people for jobs with a number of different variations on a theme.
The most common type of interview used in large companies is the competency based interview (sometimes called the situational interview). In this type of interview companies ask you for evidence from your experience of the the competencies (behaviours and skills) that they believe are necessary for the job. Examples of competencies might be 'drive for results' or 'interpersonal skills'. These are seen as an effective way of selecting people because they ask for evidence based on experience.
There are then unstructured interviews where the interviewers may ask you about how you would deal with a whole range of hypothetical situations. These are far less reliable as candidates may give a good answer but it may not be the way they deal with it in real life.
Some companies use work based sampling where they ask you to perform a role for a while and see how you do. A good example of this is in restaurants where you may be asked to clear tables and interact with customers as you do it.
The final method is by group interview. These are most often called assessment centres. Here they look at competencies during exercises with other candidates for the role. So they may ask you to make a decsion on something as a group to assess your team skills, interpersonal skills etc These events normally include a 1:1 interview as well.
