One last thought. Potential employers may think you are not a serious candidate if you spend too much time on the golf course. Dear David, First of all, you should feel good that they are really interested in you and are investing the time of critical decision makers in your candidacy. Look at this as probably the last step prior to hiring. Go into the interview with confidence, well prepared with your self-marketing campaign integrated into the company s needs and long term plans, which you have carefully researched.
Address responses to the person who asks the questions, but be sure to acknowledge the others.
Any conversations you initiate should include everyone on the panel. Although this may be stressful, how you handle difficult questions, colleagues from different departments and interactive situations speaks to your poise and ability to work with a variety of professionals, replicating in particular, cross-functional teams which are standard in today s workplace.
