*The Art of Behavioral Interviewing*

While your technical skills will get you the interview, it is your 
behavioral attributes that will get you the job.  This session will

addition, sample behavioral interview questions will be provided along 
with tips on how to answer these tough questions. This workshop is open

*CVs for the Academic Job Search*

*Thursday, February 12, 2:00-3:00pm *

The CV is used for the academic job search and in some cases for PhDs 
seeking a research position in other settings.  This workshop will cover 
the important elements of a CV, including strategies for how to showcase 
your particular knowledge and experiences effectively.  We will also 
discuss some aspects of the academic job search – such as writing a 
research or teaching statement, or obtaining letters of recommendation.  
It’s helpful to bring a copy of your CV or a draft with you to refer to 
as we go through the material in the workshop. Advanced registration 
requested via CareerBridge: https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student
