Most companies prefer their Fraud Investigators to have an interview-style that will gain the most information from the person they are interviewing. Describe your style as conversational while building rapport with the subject. If you have an abrasive or confrontational manner, the interviewer might think you would not be a good fit for the company culture.

Avoid giving the interviewer a reason to believe that your interview style will not work with their company. If the interviewer thinks you are a confrontational Fraud Investigator, they may pass you over for another candidate. Of course, there are times you may need to be more aggressive than others, but you do not want the interviewer to think that is your typical style.

"I would describe my interview style as conversational, so I can build rapport with the person I am interviewing. I go into every interview the same and would describe my approach as having a conversation with a purpose. This interview style has worked very well for me for the past four years."
