What is panel interview?
A type of screening meeting for job
applicants, involving the participation of a group of two or more people from
the hiring company. Applying for employment at many top corporations and for
public sector positions now involves a panel interview that is typically
conducted by individuals performing different business functions within the
organization. (Source: http://www.businessdictionary.com)
Now a days panel interview is common
among companies, this is to filter and screen applicants fast and accurate that
will save their time.
What we usually feel on a panel interview?
We are all often afraid and shy, nervous
at the same time whenever we are facing a group of high ranking people on a
hiring company. Because a panel interviewer usually composes of Managers, CEO,
OM, President, COO, and etc. what I mean is even a single interviewer or in a
one on one interview, we usually feel nervous, butterfly stomach, shaking
hands, and because of that feelings we usually avoid eye contact or we often
bow our head down like you want to go in a corner and hide from them. But did
you know? That there are simple things that you can do and right manners that you
can make to lessen this emotions and to a successful interview.
Quote of the day:
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without
loss of enthusiasm.”
–Winston Churchill
Here are the lists of manner that you should practice on a panel
interview
1 Don’t go off guard –
If you know that you are going to a
panel interview, do go off guard or don’t go to a war without ammunition. Practice
the research technique, whenever you are going to an interview you always have
to research about the company that you are going to it is one of the most
important do’s and don’ts that we discuss in our previous blog on Do’s and Don’tson a job interview. If you are aware of the company backgrounds and profile,
this will help improve your chance to answer surprise and unforeseen questions,
like where did you heard about us? Or what do you know about our company?
2 Deal one at a time –
Whenever you are on a panel interview, make sure
to deal with the interviewer one at a time, but also don’t ignore other
interviewer. Like what I said on no. 1 don’t go off guard, but if you deal
on a interviewers question one at a time it will make you more focus and
confident, than answering all of the question simultaneously.
3 Expect for follow up
and clarification –
It is
common to a panel to ask for a clarification on a previous answer, and it it’s
also common that will off course ask you a follow up question after another so
like what I’ve said again Don’t go off guard. Show them your professionalism in
aggressive way. And don’t ever bow down your head it shows weakness.
4 The neck technique –
It is also called the fake eye contact; it is
practice to lessen shyness, nervousness, and anxiety. This is so simple all you
need to do is look at the interviewer’s neck if you can’t look at their eyes,
this way interviewer’s will think that you are looking to their faces not
knowing that you are not and off course by doing this you’ll be more focus and
relax, like what I always said a relax mind is a key to success like we discuss
in our previous blog about preparing your mind and body before going to a job interview.
5 Know who’s to
impress –
on a panel interview it’s common to a
panel to have a different taste or like, so try to know which one is on your
side in which of them hasn’t made up their mind, usually the that on your side
is the one who’s asking light questions, and the one who’s mind is still not on
you, so all you have to do is be polite on the that on your side and impress
the one who’s still not making up his mind on you.
6 Be sure to thanks all the panel –
Remember that first impression last and
last impression hit’s hard, like what we discuss in our previous blog about Proper etiquette on a job interview. Anyway once you enter the panel
interview room be sure to smile greet them a simple good morning, afternoon or
whatever time it is and be sure to look on each one of them on the eye or in
the neck if you can’t look at their eyes. And the most important be sure to say
thank you after the interview and if it’s possible give each one of them a
handshake before leaving the room.
