When interviewing with a panel of people, is it most appropriate to start from left to right of the panel, or to shake hands with the women first? Please Help

Left to right, Not women first. It would seem clumsy and unnatural to let's say alternate shaking of hands if the panel is sitting boy-girl. Left to right and most importantly LOOK THEM IN THE EYE WHEN SHAKING HANDS. It instills confidence and shows a great deal of respect. Plus it makes you look more professional. Hope this helped.

The word “interview” itself makes a person tense who needs to appear in the interview. It is normal human behaviour to become confused or get tensed but such things can be overcome with practice, learning from seniors and elders, thru own experience. At my time internet was not available. These days Internet is a rich source of information. U can learn many things about the interview by visiting the websites the links of which are given below. On some websites u will find questions also along with answers which are frequently asked and questions pertaining to ur requirement can also be found there. It will improve ur performance remarkably. If will infuse a high level of confidence in u. It will make u more frank and it will develop diplomatic qualities in u too. Overall, I would say that it will give an impetus to ur personality development.

I would go from one end to the other also. I interview people all the time, and you would be surprised how many people do not shake at all. especially the young people.

I agree. Left to right. Look the person in the eye. Say thank you. And make sure your handshake is FIRM. That is the most important thing. Not too hard, not too soft, and not like a dead fish.

left to right sounds good (seems more efficient and easier to do actually), but if someone on your right sends out a hand to shake and it's available and ready to shake, there's no harm in shaking it first!

Women first, Always, from right to left, then on to men. Don't forget your thank you notes when it's all over.

Go from one end to another. singling out women will make it seem like you think there is a difference in their business ability.

Very good question.
Yes, it is very appropriate. Left to right.
