Does anyone have any good tips for a group interview?

Answer 1

Breath deeply!!

A group interview is usually a way to see how a candidate handles stress, but also a way for the interviewers to kill two birds with one stone. Basically no repeated questions for you, more ground covered for them, different views on the same answer etc.

Just in case, a new way of doing group interviews has been taken from a book called Top Grading. Familiarize yourself with an interview style called CIDS (Chronological InDepth Survey). A few clicks in your web browser and you will understand the concept of the interview. Read up on TORC while you are it.

Remember to talk to all the interviewers, meaning if one interviewer dominates the conversation, don't just talk to the interviewer, talk to the group.

Answer 2

who is being interviewed ? you or a potential employee? if its you always listen and make eye contact with each person interviewing you. keep in mind in most cases people interviewing are as nervous and sometimes more than the person being interviewed as most people get thrown into that position with no formal or real life training. ask questions about the job, benefits, hours, pay, as well as any other information you want, this shows your intrest in the job and makes them involved.
