Panel Interview Questions and Tips

Going to a job interview will never get any easier, even when you have gone to more interviews than you can count. You are meeting new people, selling yourself , your skills, and at times you’re told in a politically correct way that you didn’t get the job.

I don’t want to bring you down, but if you want to work for the federal government (FBI, DEA, ATF, CIA, border patrol protection, and/or the secret service) the interview is even tougher.

I had to sit through a panel interview before I became a police officer several years ago and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. I’m guessing that the federal government’s interview process is by far more diffcult than local law enforcement agencies.

You will learn highly effective interviewing techniques that will have the panel chomping at the bit to hire you. The video will be an eye opener for you and your competition won’t be as prepared as you.
