DESCRIPTION:In this workshop you will learn how to improve your interviewi
 ng skills.\n\n \n\nInstructor: Carl M. Cohen\, PhD\n\nPresident\, Science
  Management Associates\n\n \n\nWhether you are looking for a position in 
 academia or at a company\, at some point in the process you’re going to 
 be sitting across from someone asking you questions about yourself and you
 r work. How you answer those questions and how you come across during the 
 interview process will have as much and likely more influence on the hirin
 g decision than your research or publication history. Going into a job int
 erview believing that your resume and publications speak for themselves is
  a recipe for disappointment.\n\n \n\nIn this highly interactive half-day
  workshop\, you will learn how to answer the most common and most difficul
 t questions that interviewers ask job candidates. In a small group setting
  you will practice responding to interviewers who want to get an idea of h
 ow you interact with others\, manage conflict and deal with setbacks in yo
 ur work. During this process you will get direct and immediate feedback on
  how you did and how to improve.\n\n \n\nYou will learn how to respond wh
 en someone says “So\, tell me about yourself” in a way that focuses on
  what they need to hear from you. The workshop will also show you how to r
 espond to loaded questions like “What is your biggest weakness?” Throu
 ghout the workshop you will get feedback and guidance on how you come acro
 ss to others with a specific focus on body language\, eye contact and faci
 al expression. Finally\, you will learn the principles of effective networ
 king and how to make sure that the contacts you make keep you in mind when
  opportunities arise.\n\n \n\nWhat you will learn\n\n \n\n\n	\n	Learn ho
