The (Virtual) Interview Training sessions take place online and enable you to practice actual interview situations with actors in order to train efficient and successful interviewing skills. Break-?out groups allow professors to exchange ideas and experiences with peers in a small comfortable setting. The aim of this session is for you to walk away with specific tools and a better feeling for how you can challenge candidates in an interview. This will help you determine whether candidates qualify for a PhD or postdoc position and if they have the required perseverance to see through the challenges of scientific projects.

Format (online, via zoom)

  • Brief introduction to the interview process and to interviewing tools
  • Practice of individual interview sequences in small groups of 3-4 participants with the help of newly developed guidelines for interviews with PhD and postdoc candidates.
  • Actors will take over the role of the candidate, creating a realistic and concrete practice session.
  • The participants will have the opportunity to receive direct feedback from the interviewee, but also from other group participants.
  • All participants will take on the role of interviewer as well as observer
  • Discuss take-?aways in the plenary

Potential topics:

  • How to deal with different personalities and characters in the interview
  • How to verify the required competencies in the interview and elicit the qualities and the potential of a candidate
  • In person vs. remote interviews
  • Interviewing process
