Question

Could you describe how an interview process looks like ?

Xerxes · Accepted Answer

It's correct, although I would be more inclined to write:

Could you describe what an interview process is like?

Mandoe · Answer

Thank you. I checked the dictionary and there is the phrase what is sth like, so are both forms correct ?

Could you describe what an interview process is like?

and

Could you describe what is an interview process like?

or Could you describe what is the interview process like at X ?

Mandoe Could you describe how an interview process looks like ?

I would class this as wrong. I think "how" has to be "what".

Also there should be no space before the question mark.

"Could you describe how an interview process looks?" would work.

Xerxes · Answer

Could you describe what an interview process is like? Perfect.

Could you describe what is an interview process like? No, use the one above.

Could you describe what is the interview process like at X? No, write:
Could you describe what the interview process is like at X?

Clive · Answer

You could also say simply -
Could you describe an interview process?.
Could you describe the interview process at X?

Note also that an interview process is not exactly the same as an interview.
