    Yeah, I've been with the company for 8 years, when I was hired for my first position there, it was a panel interview. I've had three panel interviews the through the years. This will involve more people, this time around. Six interviewers with prepared questions.

    Just be cool. Don't give more of an answer than they expect (I mean don't ramble like I always do).

    Good luck by the way.

    Thanks. Yeah, I'm a bit of a rambler myself, sometimes.

    Being the center of attention has never been my forte. I get nervous and try to be funny, but I don't think that always helps me.

    My advice? Stagger in smelling of booze and urine, and insult everybody at the earliest opportunity.

    Don't be making this face during the panel.



    But if you have to, make sure to blink every once in a while.

    do you work for the military or a military contractor?
    (or the fire dept or police dept)

    because, one in the normal business world gets a promotion upon deserving it, NOT based on weird 'interviews', or taking tests.
