Work interview coming up

PunkSwan

I've got a face to face work interview next week. I will have to do some tests and face a panel of three. The market is brutal right now, so I'm not about to ask for adjustments via the agency who arranged it, let alone tell anyone I'm autistic. I'm going to have to concentrate on not fidgeting...

Has anyone dealt with panel interviews and do you have any tips? It would be good to hear people's thoughts from the ND perspective. 

For everything else, I'm researching like a fiend and devising questions (the easy bit).

  • Yes.  Be yourself. The questions will probably be fairly standard, either relating tasks in the new role back to you experiences. Or asking of your past experience how did you deal with something, a difficult person or situation or challenge. How did you get through it and what was the outcome. Being upbeat and bringing it into the now is a plus - ie how those skills might be transferable. The main thing is talking about yourself positively and using real life examples. I'd recommend reading up beforehand and buy a coffee afterwards to destress.

    Stay calm and good luck.

    Thank you, pietro_21. For me it's a case of eye contact divided amongst three people I've just met, while I answer... while remembering to show confidence (I didn't get a recent interview because apparently I wasn't assured enough). And not fidgeting. I have done this before, but my recent interview was the first one in years.
