Hey, just wanted to know if you have any tips for a panel interview?

popcrnlvr · Sep 23, 2015

Hey, I couldn't find any info about the types of questions either. I've never had a panel interview before so it should be interesting. I just heard that we should address everyone involved and make eye contact with everyone. Realize they all have different jobs and base questions and answers on that.

That's just what I've heard. Good Luck!

I been to a couple of panel interviews and its not as nerve-wrecking as you would anticipate. My tip would be to take your time when they ask questions, set the pace, dont let them set the pace. I also like to go into it as if i'm talking to a group of co-workers or peers - it takes the edge off trying to impress authority, and it sort of lets them look at you as a peer. But above all else, be positive and believe in yourself. As cliche as that sounds, thats whats gonna get you thru the whole process. Thats whats gonna drive all your answers, your character and your attitude, whether you have experience or not.

How did your interview go popcrnlvr? lol so curious to know if it was more clinical questions and how long it took. In any case, I'm sure you did great!

Thank you, I think it went really well. It is about 30 minutes long, and the questions were more behavioral based.

14 positions and 40 interviews

oh darn, I just realized your interview has already started! Hope everything goes well! We should both post back next week lol

I thought it went really well too, like nothing you can't figure out or answer. They all seemed nice too, 2 were more talkative than the others for me. I didn't know it was just 14 positions, good to know lol. Well yes, I'll post back if i hear anything

ativanRN · Sep 24, 2015

oh, do you know how much the pay rate is for this position? I totally forgot to ask

popcrnlvr · Sep 26, 2015

Hey have you heard back from them? I got the job! They said they were still figuring out the pay for new grads though. They're gonna send me more info early next week

ativanRN · Sep 26, 2015

Omg, congrats! You heard from them today? That's so exciting, i wouldnt expect to hear from them until next week, that was fast for you. Haven't heard anything yet, but we'll see. Congrats!
