INTRODUCTION. In this introductory session, we will cover how to use the course effectively. We will define what winning at an interview means and how to use your time to set you up for success.
MODULE 1. PREPARE FOR INTERVIEW SUCCESS.
In the first module of four, I will guide you through ways to research what the interviewer is looking for, the wider context of the impact the role has - and importantly how to showcase your skills and science that solve the problem the role is there to fix.
MODULE 2: SHOWCASE YOUR SCIENCE LIKE A PRO. In this module we will explore how to answer interview questions with confidence and credibility. We will cover what to research for your science presentation and tips on how to present it effectively in a way that speaks their language!
MODULE 3: CREATE A GREAT TWO-WAY DISCUSSION. Any good interview should be a two-way conversation. In this module, we will work on what you need from the role, and how and when to build it into the conversation. We will cover logistics of the interview so you have all the details organized for the day!
MODULE 4: WRAP UP & FOLLOW-UP. In this module, we will work on how to close the conversation and what to follow-up with. We will celebrate with you if you get the role and if not this time, get you started with how to keep improving for next time.
SUMMARY. In this section, we will review what you learned and make sure you feel supported as you embark on your interview!

Who is this workshop for?
This workshop is tailor-made for people who are interviewing for a role in the life sciences: such as immunology or human genetics. There are elements for academic positions, corporate/industry roles, and teachings that will cover most roles that a talented scientist could do. People who have not had much interview experience will gain the most from this workshop.
If you getting interviews, not getting the role and feel like you are just not performing well - this workshop will work from the foundation up to hone your skills. It cannot give you a "yes" to the job, but you can leave the interview knowing that you gave confident answers.
Will the course get me the job?
No course can guarantee it will get you the job at the end.
This workshop is to win at the aspects of the interview that are in your control. That includes being able to showcase your own science effectively at the interview. Picking appropriate scientific examples to answer interview questions confidently. Being able to create a two-way discussion so that you know what kind of work environment you are interviewing for. Knowing what your own deal-breakers are - not every role will suit you!
You won't know if the next person interviewing has 5 years more experience in the exact technique the role needs, or even if the role will be suddenly pulled. You cannot anticipate that.
You CAN make sure YOUR SKILLS are PRESENTED to the best of your ability. That is WINNING.
This workshop is to give you the tools to know that you gave a great interview - no matter what the outcome. That is what we call winning at a science interview.
