How to impress in a panel interview

[Colleen2515]

I have a panel interview coming up for a new grad residency at Northern Westchester Hospital. I have been preparing for behavioral/situational questions. I am feeling quite nervous! The last interviews I have been on were really easy and I do not think that this is going to be an easy interview! Any tips on what I might expect? I know that I would be a great candidate for the job, now how do I relax enough to sell myself in the interview?? Also, what do people typically say during the "Tell us about yourself" question? I usually talk about how I like working with people and my past experience working with developmentally disabled students and why I went into nursing.

That sounds great for the tell us about yourself things that are unique to yourself and don't go into too much detail of things that they can read on your resume. Smile, be enthusiastic and make sure you have questions prepared for them.

Also, don't focus on one person. When answering a question, look at that person first as you speak, then as your answering, look towards the others, make eye contact, etc
