Accountability Key Webinars

“Just tell us a little bit about yourself, your work, and your interests.” This is the most common industry interview “brief” that PhDs are given for top jobs. “How do you build networks offline?” Do you think this is possible, given the pandemic times we live in today? Imagine making it all the way to a site visit (virtual or in-person) and blowing it at the final stage – the interview presentation. Unfortunately, this is what happens to too many PhDs. Do you know how to give an industry presentation? It’s very, VERY different than an academic presentation. You should expect to give a presentation during your job search. Presentations are a key component of the hiring process for a number of top industry positions. This makes the interview process more challenging. However, a 10% harder interview process is associated with a 2.6% increase in job satisfaction for the candidate who secures the offer (Glassdoor). This means if your presentation flops, you will miss out on a great opportunity. The good news is that you can learn to build your professional brand, network, give an outstanding industry presentation, and have a transition plan that will get you hired. To get started, join us for a brand new webinar titled “How To Stay Accountable In Your Job Search.”

If a recruiter or employer asks if you are available tomorrow for a virtual interview, you have to say “yes.” You can’t pass up an opportunity to advance toward a job offer. Your prospects in academia are worsening by the day, and coronavirus has already cost 400 million jobs and counting (CNBC). But are you actually ready to interview? Most PhDs foolishly wait to prepare for the interview phase of their job search until they are asked to interview. This is a huge mistake. If you blow an interview by acting awkward, defensive, or arrogant – even if you don’t mean to – you can end up blacklisted by several companies within the sector you are applying. Companies don’t want to waste their time and money giving someone who has already bombed an interview a second chance, especially during a recession when resources are scarce. If a company offers you an interview, they want to hire you. Don’t lose out on a job offer after making it to this stage of the hiring process. Instead, start learning how to ace your interviews now by joining us for a new webinar on Thursday, August 27th at 3pm ET (7pm UTC +0, or 3am UTC +8). After this webinar titled “99 Most Asked Industry Interview Questions & How To Answer Them (From Over 1,000 PhDs Polled),” you will be armed with data on the industry interview process obtained from PhDs who have already transitioned. You can use this data to ensure you aren’t blindsided by any interview question.
