Acing the Interview and Negotiating the Job Offer for Nonacademic Positions

Acing the Interview and Negotiating the Job Offer for Nonacademic Positions

Do you want to nail your first nonacademic job interview? Are you nervous about making mistakes because you have spent the last 7+ years as a graduate student and postdoc and never had to conduct a real interview? And what about when you receive that job offer? Do you know how to evaluate it and what you should negotiate?

In this seminar, Dr. Tom Magaldi will share useful strategies to help you ace future interviews for jobs outside of academia and will examine the many variables that exist during the evaluation and negotiation process of non-academic job offers. You will practice your answers to common interview questions such as: "Tell me about yourself” and “Give me an example of when you had to work in teams". You will also learn how, when and why you should negotiate, strategies for negotiation, and “What Can” and “What Can Not” be negotiated.
