Free Career Webinar: Virtual Interviewing and the Job Talk
Diane Frendak American Astronomical Society (AAS)
In this webinar, we will discuss leveraging virtual platforms to execute an interviewing plan that will help you land that dream job. We’ll look at what you should be doing before, during, and after the interview, how to adjust different elements of a virtual experience (such as lighting and sound), and how to look professional on camera. We will also go over how to deliver an oral presentation, i.e., a job talk or a colloquium, using virtual methods to exhibit your knowledge, expertise, enthusiasm, and collaborative nature.
Join us Wednesday, 19 August, at 2:00 pm ET, as our host Alaina G. Levine guides you through best practices in virtual interviewing.
This webinar is free to AAS members, but space is limited and registration is required.
