The “Interviewing Skills” online courses focuses on skills for preparing appropriate documents (e.g., vita, teaching philosophy, and research statement), searching for appropriate positions, interviewing, giving job talks, and following up after interviews.
Students work with an experienced scientist to get feedback and advice on preparing for interviews and preparing vita and other documents for application submission.
