INTERVIEWING SKILLS- JHMI PDO. NOVEMBER 4TH, 2010
Restaurant interview: Manners are very important, more than what you may think. Do not drink. Don't allow the conversation to become too personal.
Technical Interview: When they want to find out about your ability in a particular technique.
Hiring Interview: The last in a series of interviews. May be on phone. Be ready with questions about salary, benefits, perks,...You don't have to tell them a definitive answer: you can tell them that you are thrilled but you nee to ask a few questions to your families,...OR: May I have some time to evaluate my options?...I hope you understand that I have explored other possibilities and I still have not heard from my other chances....
If you are in a rush and you have already taken an interview, you can call them and ask them if they can give you an idea about how long you have to wait to hear from them.
Preparing for interviews:
RESEARCH; RESEARCH
Know everything you can about the organization, the culture, future trends, interviewers, future boss.
Understand competition, challenges, innovation in the field global implications, ranking.
Develop good questions based upon research.
Be ready to discuss salary: if not quoted in job announcement- research salary surveys, know your personal minimum:
- Salary.com (muy general)
- Databases to know the salary at different categories, at different research institutions.
- Some organizations have this online (government), the minimum salary.
Is always good to talk about ranks than about exact amounts.
Take into consideration that salaried vary a lot in different cities.
Ask about tuition benefits.
Be able to articulate why you are qualified.
Prepare yourself:
- Formal: all business, no chit chat.
- Informal: more relaxed, interested in getting to know you.
- Scripted: set of questions used for all applicants. May be more equitable to compare or rank applicants.
In a panel interview you can ask them the identities of the people who are going to be part of the panel.
TYPES OF INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Standard: She handled a paper from NIH. You can also find it at: https://www.training.nih.gov/assets/Interviewinghandout.pdf
Open ended (not necessarily a right questions. They just want to get you talking so that they get to know about your personality)
Behavioral questions: they are intended to see how you have behaved in the past and how you would react to different situations. They may also ask you about how you have handled a difficult relationship with a co-worker. They can ask you if there is anything that you regret.
If they ask you about your weakness, tell them about something that is not too serious and that you have overcome.
Concepts/ terms: Transferrable skills (basic skills, writing skills,...).
Salary discussion and negotiations
Know your worth and your requirements
Never raise the subject of salary. The longer you wait to talk about this, the longer your interviewer has to get to know you.
If asked for salary requirements:
After interview:
-Make notes about what went well or bad. You will learn.
-Always write thank yo notes. Email is acceptable. Mail is impressive.
-Plan next steps if you are interested in job:
- Call or write after a week or so if you do not hear from them.
- Reiterate your interest.
References:
- Ask your references for permission to use them.
- Use only academic or employment references- not personal or social ones.
- Prepare a separate page using the heading from your resume or CV.
CAN I COUNT ON YOU FOR A POSITIVE REFERENCE??
- Give 3-5 references
- Help references help you by keeping them informed of your job search and when they may be contacted- and say thank you!
You can guide them a little bit by telling them what you want to work for and the things that you think may be emphasized. Give them a little script.
