1 Know Your Panel

Researching the panel members before the interview is crucial. Understanding their roles within the company and their professional backgrounds can give you insights into the types of questions they might ask and the perspectives they bring to the table. This knowledge allows you to tailor your responses to resonate with each panel member's interests and concerns. By addressing their specific areas of expertise and demonstrating how your skills align with their needs, you can establish a connection with each interviewer and show that you're not only a fit for the role but also someone who values the team's diversity.

It is important to know and connect with your panel. Every panel member should be engaged by eye contact and your body language. It is also necessary to strike the right balance with responses between panel members. Don't get inclined to very long and super descriptive answers to any specific member. Many a times, it is also seen that some panel members get drawn back or disengaged, don't get demotivated and try to draw them back into discussion by referring to a point made by them earlier.

I have been part of multiple panel interviews and I can assure that knowing your panel is the best weapon one should carry along. These days, knowing someone's professional background, their interest, expertise, and choices has become quite easy by following them on social media profiles, e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, X, etc. This will boost your confidence during the interview, as you are already aware of panelists interest and their backgrounds. You can confidently engage with each of them during the interview; you may provide personalized responses and show interest in what they are looking for to make you the best suited candidate for the job.

2 Engage Everyone

During the interview, it's important to engage with all panel members. Make eye contact with each person as you answer questions, and be mindful of their reactions and body language. If someone seems disengaged, try to draw them back into the conversation by asking for their opinion or by referencing a point they made earlier. This shows that you're attentive and inclusive, qualities that are essential in people management. By treating the panel as a microcosm of a team you might lead, you demonstrate your ability to manage group dynamics effectively.

3 Balance Responses

Striking the right balance in your responses is key. You want to provide enough detail to demonstrate your expertise, but also be concise to respect the panel's time. Avoid monopolizing the conversation or focusing too much on one topic. Instead, aim to showcase a range of skills and experiences that align with the job description and the company's values. Remember, your goal is to convey that you have a well-rounded skill set that can adapt to various situations and challenges.

4 Show Leadership

A panel interview is an excellent opportunity to highlight your leadership potential. Share examples of how you've successfully managed teams or projects in the past. Discuss the strategies you used to overcome obstacles, facilitate collaboration, and achieve goals. Your ability to articulate these experiences convincingly will help the panel envision you in a leadership role within their organization. It's not just about what you've done, but how you've done it and what you've learned from those experiences that will set you apart.

5 Ask Insightful

Asking insightful questions can leave a lasting impression on the panel. Prepare a few thoughtful questions that not only show you've done your homework but also demonstrate your interest in contributing to the company's success. Questions about company culture, team dynamics, or recent successes can prompt meaningful discussions and give you further insights into whether the organization is the right fit for you. Remember, a panel interview is as much about you assessing the company as it is about them assessing you.

6 Handle Nerves

Finally, managing your nerves is essential for acing a panel interview. Practice your answers, but also practice staying calm under pressure. Techniques such as deep breathing or positive visualization can help you maintain composure. Remember that it's okay to take a moment to think before responding or to ask for clarification if you don't understand a question. Showing that you can remain poised and think on your feet will reassure the panel that you're capable of handling the stresses of the job.
