Episode 49: Take Charge of Panel and Meal-time Interviews

Each employer has a preferred style of interviewing based on the company culture, position for which you are interviewing, and interview timeline. Types of interviews range from a phone screen, one-on-one discussion, panel / group settings, or even over lunch. Some employers may choose to utilize a combination of different styles, but if you've prepared well for your interview, you'll be able to adapt and excel in each situation.

In this podcast we’ll discuss: • Pros and cons of these types of interviews • Common pitfalls • Keys to success
