Handling Panel Interviews
Often for senior posts, panel interviews form part of a more formal assessment period. Finding out in advance who the panel interviewers will be and their respective positions will assist your preparation. Formulate likely questions and rehearse your reply.
During the panel interview maintain eye contact with the person asking the question, but involve others. Use the job specification and other information you have compiled in advance to best effect. If possible, respond to the interviewers by name and make any example or anecdotes in your replies relevant to specific panellists. Your interest in them should ensure that you're remembered at their debriefing session.
