Panel interviews...

So, I should emphasize that I'm looking for a long term position and am eager to start work, instead of babbling about my fear of being a long-term unemployed recent graduate?

Sure. And don't forget to add on how working at Subway has taught you time management.

I once had a really bad, bad, bad panel interview. There was a nice lady taking notes shorthand but she didn't understand any Pitjantjatjara (just go with me on this one, it was relevant to the job). I ended up spending the majority of the interview spelling the words out for her, hoping like hell I was getting them right, getting distracted by the spelling bee and losing my whole train of thought.

So I suppose my tip is to ask for a shorthand typist who speaks the language that the interview is to be conducted in. Do this as you enter the room, before you even sit down. It will make an impression.
