A、It’s not necessary to collect information about the company. B、Your understanding of the job requirements is very important. C

W: Have you ever attended a group interview? I mean an interview with a group of interviewers from different areas of the company.
M: Of course yes. Every interviewer has his own particular interest. An HR manager might want to know if you are a good fit for the company, the team leader of the office you are interviewing for might want to see your personality and if it fits with other colleagues, and a supervisor might be there to assess your skills.
W: It seems you do know a lot about it. Would you mind giving me some advice on how to handle it?
M: Well, being interviewed by a group of interviewers is really stressful and the company wants to know if you can handle it. So, I’d suggest practicing a group interview with friends beforehand. This could help you deal with the real stress. I believe you can turn the interview into a positive experience by being confident and having the right mindset.
W: Should I collect some information about the group?
M: This might possibly work. But what really matters is how you fit the job. Make sure you fully understand the job description and what will be required of you.
W: How about the company profile?
M: You should also know how the company works, its culture, and how they are structured.
W: How should I make eye contact with the panel?
M: Look directly at the person who asked you the question, but take the time to make eye contact with the other interviewers. However, your attention should be mainly focused on the person who posed you the question.
