Panel Job Interview

Sometimes employers want candidates to be seen by a number of managers or peer-workers. A panel interview simply means a candidate meets multiple interviewers at once.

They may play the "Good Police Man / Bad Police Man" routine, where one of them is aggressive and another sympathetic, to see how you perform under stress.

How To Handle Them

Prepare as for a normal interview. Don't let the thought of multiple interviewers stress you out.

Focus on the person who asked you the question, but make good eye contact with all of them.

Don't be put off if one of them seems grumpy. But don't be lulled into a false sense of security if one seems very friendly.
