Interviewing Skills
Whether you are looking to become a graduate student
or a job, the interview is all-important. Depending on how the interview
goes, those few hours will determine whether you get offered the
position and is crucial to you in deciding whether you want to accept
it.
The APS
and the Association of Chairs of
Departments of Physiology recommend that trainees understand the
importance of and work to develop the following skills:
-
Skill in preparing for diverse types of interviews
-
Knowledge of how to conduct oneself at interviews
-
Knowledge of appropriate post-interview actions
(from the
APS/ACDP List of Professional
Skills for Physiologists and Trainees)
Here are some web sites with information on what works before, during,
and after the interview process.*
