Careers: Preparing for job interviews and interview tasks
Being invited to a job interview is a really positive sign that the employer already thinks you could be a good fit for the role, so what can you do to optimise your performance during the interview or assessment tasks?
This workshop will address the main aspects of interview preparation from researching the role and organisation to how to perform at your best when answering typical interview questions or participating in tasks in virtual and face to face settings.
You should book your place for this session here in the researcher development hub. You can also view this activity in Inkpath for your own records, ready for when we move all researcher development activity to Inkpath by the end of May.
