What are your general comments?
I *really* wish I had done better on this interview. No difficult questions were asked, but few questions were asked at all. It was very open ended, and I just rambled on for an hour about jobs, schools, family, etc. The interviewer was very nice, but I couldn't tell if he was impressed or not. In a nutshell you have a lot of control over this interview, so go into it, prepared to sell yourself rather than be interrogated. Also ask the interviewer about him or herself..mine seemed to enjoyed telling his life story
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about your medical leave
How did you prepare for the interview?
not enough, just read some info on the school. Bring up how they are one of the highest rated in terms of NIH grants
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about this "medical leave" <I went nuts>
What impressed you positively?
I loved the school, the students were genuinely happy to be there. Aside from the cowboy hats, Nashvillians are mad cool, not nearly as rednecked as I thought; very refreshing city
What impressed you negatively?
It was WAY TOO COLD! So I couldn't walk around campus much. But overall I was impressed and wish I had done better on this interview
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Even though the website says the hotels are within walking distance, that isn't really true although shuttle service is usually available. Don't forget to tip the airport shuttle driver <they leave every 15 mins> and don't lose your round trip ticket like I did! Also, you are usually done by 4 so a 6PM flight is doable
