What is a Group Interview or Panel Interview?

Often construction executives are brought before a team of construction interviewers or even the board of directors for an intense construction interview that is prescheduled for the convenience of the construction interviewers. It is difficult for construction executives to manage all the construction interviewers at one time, but it provides the construction employers an opportunity to see how an construction executive deals with pressure, and handles multiple objectives of all participants. construction executives should learn about the construction interviewers prior to the meeting, and what the unique objectives are of each. When asked a question, respond primarily to the construction executive who asked the question, while intermittently acknowledging the others in the room as you respond. Maintaining eye contact with all construction interviewers enhances your credibility and increases their comfort level with you. This construction interview usually lasts 60 minutes.
