I have a final panel interview coming up…

Of course I’m going to complete the project I have to do and present it to the best of my ability, but is the final interview usually just a formality? Like they’re 95% sure they want to hire me but just want to make double sure?

Thoughts?

Definitely not just a formality. There are at least 2 other people also presenting.

I’m not even exaggerating when I say I’ve lost 6 opportunities at final stage last year. 3 were lost due to strategic changes and 3 to other candidates. Stay vigilant, you don’t know if they’re trying to use that last session to choose between you and someone else who is an equally good fit.

I’ve also lost several final round interviews last year. It’s never a formality.

Any advice how to make this the best round from people responding?

OP, how did it go?
