How do they usually set you up in the room?


At a table together?
Across the room from eachother?
How many people are usaully there?


I have read lots of things they may ask and am going to me nervous as hell I think( have not had an interview in 15+ years) and it's scheduled for 12 noon. Hope they are not all ****y and hungry :D. I do plan on just going with the flow and hopefully not butchering the damn thing...The life questions are easy for me,it's the scenario ones I worry about.

I have always been across the table from the interviewers.

I have said this before:
1)One person on the panel is always the tough guy and doesn't seem to like what you say. They want to see how you do under stress.

2)Stick with your answer unless it is wrong. The interview panel always seems to want you to change your answer. They want to see if you are decisive and stick with your answer.

3)Always seek cover in scenarios or place an object between you and the scenario to give you a better reactionary gap. Having a couch or a patrol car gives you more time to react if the subject has a knife or tries to attack you.

4)remember to breathe.
