ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø DocSIG Special Session: How to Prepare for Summer ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Interview Sessions
As your ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø doctoral student representatives, we strive to provide you with opportunities to learn and network in every ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø event. That is why we have prepared a very special session for this 2019 Winter ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Conference… and some may say that we saved the best for last!!! Whether you are preparing to attend the Summer ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Job Market this 2019 or in the future, we strongly encourage you to attend this session on how to prepare for your interviews; you will get invaluable insights from professors with different levels of experience. We have recruited a panel, comprised of recently hired assistant professors and senior faculty who have interviewed candidates in recent years. Come ask questions during the session or email your questions in advance to Jennifer Locander at jlocander@bus.olemiss.edu.
Some of the questions and topics we anticipate addressing in our session include:
1) What should a student take to the interview?
2) What is the format of a typical interview?
3) How long do interviews typically last?
4) From a faculty perspective, what are some of the major do’s and don’ts?
However, this session is designed for you and with you in mind, so we will allow the fluidity of the questions from the audience to guide the session.
If you have any questions, please email Jennifer Locander at jlocander@bus.olemiss.edu.
We hope to see you all in Austin!!
