Surviving Group Interviews

Group Interviews are challenging ... ok they suck.

The reason is that you are being scrutinized by multiple people at the same time.

Tips,

1. Be Yourself
2. Always answer honestly, which really means admit when you don't know something.
3. Engage everyone
4. Smile and relax

Either you get an offer, or you get experience. 

What to say when you don't have an answer

1. Acknowledge you can’t answer their specific question. 

2. Lay out a related skill or experience. 

3. Ask if they’d like to hear about the skill or experience you do have to share.

Show You Appreciation for an Interview

https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-gracefully-turn-down-a-job-offer

Step 1: Show Your Appreciation

A heartfelt—and specific—thank-you for that time and effort will go a long way.

Step 2: Give a Good, Brief Reason

The best approach is to be brief but honest about your specific reason for not accepting the position, saying something like: Thank you at this time I do not think this position is a good fit for me and my family.

Step 3: Stay in Touch

Send a thank you note to everyone
