Panel Interview Tips
In my previous post, I discussed panel interview and how it is conducted. Now, let me share with you some tips to help you get a high grade on the panel interview score card:
1. Establish eye contact. Look in the eye of the person giving the question to show your sincerity and alertness.
2. Make sure you know what’s on your resume. They read your resume and therefore, interview questions may come from it so make sure you know your resume well.
3. Show confidence. The most important thing of all is to appear confident in front of the panel.
4. Prepare good questions for the interviewers. After you have been questioned, it will be your turn next. Make sure you have good questions in mind that could impress them.

Interviewee’s Problem: Lack of Work Experience
Not all job interviews are perfect. Problems can arise during interviews and it’s the interviewee’s job to take control of them or run the risk of getting rejected. One of interviewee’s problems is the lack of work experience, especially if you are years over from graduation.
Armed with common interview gears, a calm mind and an insightful tone is your best bet to turn your lack of experience into an asset. Here, your convincing power will be put to a test. Answer the question of why you lack work experience by telling the hiring manager the benefits of your little experience. Do self-promotion and be confident in saying that you are passionate worker and have a strong willingness to learn the complexities of the job.
