Join the Science Alliance and INet NYC to learn the ins and outs on how to ace your job interview in the U.S. Interview etiquette differs per country and culture and this workshop will provide insights to better understand the interview process in the U.S. This workshop is tailored for “young professionals” including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows looking to secure a job outside academia.
This workshop aims to help you develop and enhance your interview skill set so that you can impress your potential future employer. This workshop will provide details on how to prepare for an interview including how to research the organization and the people you are interviewing with so that you feel prepared with background information. The workshop will also cover typical interview questions and tips on how to respond to the questions. These questions include:
- • What are you looking for in your career?,
- • Why are you interested in this role or organization?,
- • What are your strengths and weaknesses?,
- • How do you work in teams?,
- • How do you manage your time and prioritize tasks?,
- • How have you been proactive?
This workshop will cover examples of good responses, as well as responses that should not be given and rationale behind what makes a good or bad response. Lastly, the workshop will cover questions that you should ask during an interview to seem engaged and interested in the position.
