Graduate Placement Program – Fall 2018

Interviewing Workshop Wednesday, Oct. 10, 3:30-5:00 pm.  565 Hamilton Hall.

The further you go in the job search, the more interactive and in-person it typically becomes. In most cases, when search committees like to briefly meet with or at least speak to a dozen or so leading candidates before the commit themselves to a handful of finalists. Sometimes, these interviews take the form of face-to-face meetings at the AHA convention; sometimes they take the form of conference calls over the telephone. Whatever the format, search committees generally look for pretty much the same kinds of information. In this workshop, we’ll consider the kinds of questions interviewers are likely to ask, the components of effective responses, and some practical strategies you can use to prepare.
