What are panel interviews?
A panel interview is where you are interviewed by more than one person. This can be very stressful, especially if you’re not expecting it. One interviewer is nerve-wracking enough for some people, two is added pressure, three or more is very daunting even at the best of times. You need to remember that, very often, panel interviews are not as planned and efficiently organised as you might think. It’s tempting to imagine that the interviewers have a well-thought-out schedule of who will ask what questions and when. In real life not only is this not very common, but human nature being what it is, people will jump in and ask a question when they feel the time is right – perhaps when you say something that makes them interested or curious.
