Take the guesswork out of industry interviews and learn how hiring decisions are really made. In this workshop, we will demystify the industry interview process for PhDs and postdocs, clarifying what each stage is assessing and how to show up in a way that makes you clear, confident, and memorable to hiring teams.

Angela Priest will walk through the full interview journey, from recruiter screens to hiring manager, peer, and senior-level interviews. Through practical examples and insider insights, you’ll learn how to adapt your preparation and answers to each stage, avoid common pitfalls, and position yourself as a strong, top-of-mind candidate without over-focusing on technical detail.
