What are your general comments?
Panel interviews are not my thing. The first interview is a personal one, and its actually just an opportunity for you to verify and update the file they have on you. The panel interview was difficult for me, because you need to establish a group dynamic, and having the other interviewees in the same room made me a lot more self-conscious about my answers..
