Here's how you can navigate a panel interview with multiple interviewers.

Adopt the mannerisms and speech patterns of each interviewer. If one crosses their arms, you cross your arms. If another scratches their nose, you scratch yours. They'll be so impressed by your mirroring skills they'll think you're a master of empathy. Make a grand entrance. Perhaps a cartwheel or a somersault? If the interview doesn’t start with a bang, how will they remember you? Interrupt each interviewer mid-sentence to show your eagerness. It’s not rude; it displays passion and assertiveness. They’ll appreciate your zeal. Bring a mystery guest, like a pet parrot repeating your qualifications or a mime acting out your skills. It’s quirky and shows you think outside the box.

Para navegar por una entrevista de panel con varios entrevistadores, en mi experiencia, es esencial mantener la calma y la confianza. Puedo recomendar preparar respuestas concisas y relevantes, y dirigirte a cada entrevistador con contacto visual. He confirmado que funciona practicar escenarios de preguntas con un amigo o mentor para ganar seguridad y claridad en tus respuestas.

The last thing anyone wants is to come to an interview unprepared. Make sure to find out the name and title of your interviewer(s) and do your best to find out as much about them as possible. How long have they been with the firm? What (if anything) are they known for? How big are their departments, and where do they fall in the pecking order? What are their outside interests? What Boards do they sit on? When you come into a panel interview prepared and aware of the people on the other side of the table you'll be in a much stronger position than if you just walk in blind.

Most interview questions fall into a handful of categories. Sure, there will be stray questions from time to time, but be prepared for the main ones, and be able to answer in a way that highlights your transferrable skills from past positions.

During an interview, engaging with each panel member is crucial for demonstrating the ability to connect with multiple individuals simultaneously and showing respect for the entire panel. Overall, adapting responses and gauging reactions from all panel members can enhance interview performance and showcase adaptability, aligning with the evolving trends in interview practices and technologies

Be confident and look people in the eye. Make sure you address each person in the room as you answer - not just the person asking the question. Look around. Use hand gestures. Smile. Don't fidget. Practice active listening and really hear what's being asked. Don't just think of what you're going to say next. Remember that every word and every action is being judged. Be the one who stays calm, cool and collected under pressure.

Follow-up questions can offer an opportunity to build rapport with the panelist who asked the question. Try to get specific and relate your responses back to what has been asked to show you can pay attention to detail and are engaged.
