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).

  • no matter how much you prepare I think one thing to factor is how the interviewers are - I suspect as its panel then they'll be taking it in turns to ask you questions.

    I've only ever had a panel interview 3 times and probably 1-2-1 interview 30+ times - do listen to their introductions to work out what their interest is, one could be HR/recruitment and one may be line manager and even a colleague.  You may find one may not say much - may just be an observer to record the interview - to ensure all candidates are given same questions/opportunities to answer.  You may have a better rapport with one but try to keep all panel engaged and interested in you.

    Well done on getting the interview and hope it goes well.  Be positive - the worst is they can say not this time, but don;t forget the process is two ways - does the job and people come across as a place you'd want to work. 

    Have some (2 or 3 max) questions prepared for them in advance but nothing that could annoy one of the panel.  Even write them down if you need to

    Good luck

    Cheers Jalapeno. I'm not sure what would annoy the panel. I do feel it is a two way process (no matter the state of the job market).
