How to Handle a Panel Interview

TL;DR: The main added challenge is managing multiple people's attention and reading different communication styles at once.

Make eye contact with everyone

Even when answering a specific person's question, briefly include the rest of the panel with your eye contact so no one feels ignored.

Note names early

Jotting down names and roles as they're introduced helps you reference people specifically later, which reads as attentive and organized.
