Interview skills lesson 23: Group interviews and GD basics · Set 936 · 40 questions

Tip (Add, don’t dominate): Good: listening to all, bringing in quiet members, facts or examples, disagreeing politely, staying on the topic, short turns, summing up. Poor: shouting others down, speaking non-stop, staying silent the whole time, mocking, going off-topic, repeating one point, arguing personally. Useful lines: start (“May I begin?”), agree and add, disagree politely (“I respect that view, but…”), invite (“Would anyone like to add?”), sum up (“To sum up, we agree on…”).
