Careers in Physiology Symposium:
Navigating the Interview:
How to Make It Work for You (Sponsored by APS Career Opportunities
in Physiology Committee)
Experimental Biology 2006
San Francisco, CA
Organizers: Nansie A. McHugh, Ph.D. and William R. Galey,
Ph.D.
Date: Monday, April 3, 5:45-7:45 PM
Location: Convention Center, Rm. 252/260
The Interview is the great equalizer! No matter how high your GPA,
where you received your degree, who you studied with or how much or what
experience you have---if you are not able to interview successfully,
you’re not likely to get the job!
The skills and abilities to successfully navigate the interview process
don’t come naturally and the unfamiliarity of most candidates with the
process adds to the stress and the likelihood of making a mistake which
could cost you the job.
The purpose of this symposium is to
provide potential interviewees with information about what to expect in the
interview, the etiquette of interviewing and possible pitfalls to be aware
of in the interview process. The program will focus on how to prepare for an
interview, the similarities and differences between industrial and academic
hiring processes and the skill sets desired by industrial and academic
employers.
Attendees will hear from individuals who have been involved in hiring for
academic and industrial institutions, an individual familiar with the
differences between industry and academia and recent successful job
applicants. Following brief presentations by the speakers, time will be
dedicated to an open roundtable discussion of questions raised by the
attendees.
