It was a good experience...panels are different in approach some
panels mainly focused about personal questions, my panel was more in
banking. If you are prepared for 100 words there you can only said 50
due to tension but don't worry most of them are performing this way.
Practice well in front of a mirror and always remember that you are the
best and this job is for you.
All the best..!!
