In a committee interview, the candidate appears before a committee or panel of interviewers. This can be a nerve wracking interview. This type of interview is usually done for time and scheduling efficiency to accommodate the panel. Candidates are evaluated on interpersonal skills, qualifications, and their ability to think on their feet. This type of interview can be intimidating for a candidate. The candidate sometimes feels that they have no control over the panel. In a panel interview, the candidate should focus on one or two key members and control their reaction. However, it is very important to make eye contact and communicate individually with each member of the group or panel. Best possible ways to handle yourself through a committee interview is to remain calm and realize talking to four people is a lot better than talking in front of five hundred.
