Mock Interviews Workshop
May 4, 3-7 p.m.
MSRB, Room 1302
Sign up for the event here
This event is hosted by UCSB's Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Biology Graduate Student Advisory Council. Student participants will receive brief descriptions typical of M.S. or Ph.D. entry-level jobs and postdocs beforehand, and during the event will be interviewed for a variety of positions. Interviews will be short (a few minutes for questions followed by written self- and interviewer-evaluations), and âthey will rotate students through as many interviews as possible in the time available. These will be followed by a panel discussion where interviewers can provide general feedback to the students. Afterward, there will be a happy hour where students can chat with the interviewers individually.
Please send any questions to Lindsay (marks@lifesci.ucsb.edu) or Anna (anna.james@lifesci.ucsb.edu).
