Sponsored by the MIT Careers Office


For Graduate Students (and Postdocs):
SELF-ASSESSMENT

FRI., NOV. 19, 10-11:30am

Graduate students at all stages, benefit from self-assessment. Making 
career decisions can be confusing without a clear understanding of 
your own internal priorities. Learn to develop a framework to help 
you think about your future career options, values, interests, and 
transferable skills, which graduate students often possess but many 
not have recognized. Advanced sign-up required.

PREPARING FOR ACADEMIC JOB INTERVIEWS

FRI., DEC. 10, 11am-12:30pm

This interactive workshop is geared to doctoral students and postdocs 
interested in preparing for academic job interviews. One or two MIT 
alums who are now in junior faculty positions, will share their 
insights and offer suggestions for effective academic job interviews. 
During the workshop participants will practice typical academic 
interview questions with peers. The focus of this workshop is not on 
the job talk(seminar) but on typical questions that may be asked 
during one to one meetings which are part of the academic interview 
process. Advanced sign-up required.
