Abstract

Calling all PGRs! Are you curious to find out more about the interview process? Whether you are applying for a job in the university or in industry, it is crucial to make a good impression in the interview. How can you prepare for it? And what makes a great interview?

During this workshop, you will participate in mock interviews in small groups. Every participant will get a chance to be an interviewer and interviewee. We will practice with general questions that are commonly asked in job interviews, whether interviewing for an academic job or a job in industry.

Here are a few reasons why you should participate in this workshop:

• Learn about the role of the interview in the job application process.
• Practice and perfect your answers to commonly asked interview questions.
• Practice your interviewing skills in a fun and relaxed environment.

The interview workshop will be followed by a free PGR lunch (from 12-1pm).

Spaces are limited to 22 students and on a ‘first-come, first serve’ basis.

If you sign up, please make sure to attend, or cancel ahead of time.

If you would like to attend the event, then please submit the form here by 12:00 noon, Friday 8th December so that we can confirm numbers for the social in particular.

Hope to see you all there!
