Group interviews are efficient for the department. They also allow all participants to hear the same answers to the same questions. You will be asked questions from all participants.
Interviewing With Other Job Candidates
Group interviews with other job candidates are not as common. They are also efficient and allow the interviewers to compare candidates on the spot. Concentrate on your own skills and accomplishments, not your competitors.
Group Inteview Tips
When you enter the room, shake hands with each panelist or interviewer. Mention that you brought a fresh copy of your resume for everyone.
Begin your answer to each question by looking at the person who asked it. Then make contact with others on the panel. It is not necessary to make eye contact with each person for every question.
Finish your answer while looking at the person who asked the question.
When it's time to ask a question of your own, be clear if you’re asking everyone to answer or directing it to one individual.
At the end of interview, shake hands again with everyone.
Send at least one thank you letter to the lead interviewer. When possible, send a thank you letter to everyone.
