I had a panel interview with two people. They had five questions written on paper. They would ask them one by one, and I could go back to previous ones if I needed to. It was about 30 minutes total, and I could ask questions at the end if there was still time.

Behavioral
I interviewed with a panel of two people. I was nervous at first, but they made me feel comfortable. They thought I was overqualified because of my previous experience, but I explained that it could be beneficial to them since I'm rejoining the workforce after taking time off to raise my son. I felt it went very well. Even though I didn't get the job, they told me to check back because they'll have other positions open soon.
