Wait…you want me to interview with how many people at once? Panel interviews are becoming more popular. This interview venue is a unique opportunity where multiple interviewers come together (at the same time) to assess your skills, experience, and fit for the role. Facing several people at once can feel overwhelming. But with the right preparation and mindset, you can turn this challenge into a chance to shine.
These interviews typically involve 3 to 6 members from diverse parts of the organization, each bringing their own perspective. This means you have the opportunity to connect with multiple potential colleagues and leaders. It also means you will gain a broad insight into the company culture. And the bonus: you can let them see the full range of what you offer.
