THE INTERVIEW..

The Interview What the employer is looking for Specific skills Dedication Reliability Communication Initiative Team player

The Interview What you are looking for Interesting work Good supervisor Opportunity to extend your skills Publications Stimulating work environment Salary and conditions

The interview Have realistic expectations when applying for a position If you have the appropriate qualifications, or other attributes that may produce a positive outcome, make an application

The most important aspects to an interview are: A POSITIVE ATTITUDE and BE PREPARED Know who your prospective employer is.. What they do The areas in which they have published Their expertise Where your expertise would fit in Why you would make a difference Find out as much as possible about the interview in advance [Research on the interview panel where possible]

Try to anticipate some questions in advance. Practice the interview with supervisor/colleagues/visualise speaking in front of a panel and rehearse in your mind Assemble all possible relevant documentation PREPARATION

Attending the interview Be well groomed Maintain eye contact with the interviewing panel Speak with confidence at reasonable volume Listen and answer the questions precisely and succinctly If you are unsure of the question, ask for clarification If you do not know the answer, say so.

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO PUT YOURSELF FORWARD. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS, EXPLAIN WHY YOU MAY BE SUITABLE GENERALLY YOU WILL BE ASKED IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT THE END OF AN INTERVIEW. ASK IF YOU CAN SEE THE LABORATORY/WORKPLACE ASK IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO OTHER EMPLOYEES, SHOULD YOU BE OFFERED THE JOB

Questions at the end of an interview Generally you will be given the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the interview… use this! Have a few possible questions ready. Do not make pay and conditions the FIRST question! Show an interest in the job itself (e.g. laboratory, more details of project, other staff, group size, prospects for training, conference attendance) Don’t be afraid to ask questions YOU have to feel right about the work, the people and the conditions

IF QUESTIONS ARE ASKED AND YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHAT IS MEANT, ASK FOR CLARIFICATION LISTEN CAREFULLY AND ANSWER ANY QUESTION PRECISELY. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER SAY SO DO NOT TRY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS WITH LONG EXPLANATIONS THESE SOMETIMES END UP SOUNDING AS IF YOU MAY NOT HAVE A CLUE

remember…. You are a postgraduate, To get this far, you have had intense training in: research method, presentation skills, writing etc. Remember all your skills/training and have the confidence to bring these in where appropriate in the interview. Use these to your advantage. Remember: a good postgraduate is a highly-prized item!
