Recruiting in and outside of academia is quite different. Interviews are often perceived as stressful.
This workshop teaches you how to prepare for an interview in industry. The focus is on the general parts of the interview: your motivation, fit to company, your career path so far, etc. These are the parts where HR recruiters may be involved and that is often a cause for insecurities. Please note, the workshop will not cover technical questions you may in counter if you interview for positions in software development or data science.
In addition to online theoretical input, you get to do a mock-interview. The aim is to give you an experience that is close to reality. However, after the interview you will get detailed constructive feedback to increase your confidence and help you improve your interview skills. This is something that you do not get in real life!
Christine Mössler is just the person to do this. She has lot’s of HR experience, but she is also an expert on giving you valuable, honest feedback in a supportive manner.
