Trainee Career Development Series – Part 4: Preparing Yourself for Successful Hiring
Friday, January 22, 2021
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET
Regardless of the job you choose, it is important to be knowledgeable about, and position yourself well for, the recruitment and hiring process. In most cases, the content and presentation of your application materials plays a significant role in being selected for an interview. In this session you will gain insights from newly-hired and experienced faculty at comprehensive universities, as well as an R&D scientist who has worked for almost 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry. They will share what is required of a successful application and how your application may be reviewed by search committees, recruiters, and others. The goal of this session is to bring clarity to the hiring processes in both industry and academia. Questions from trainees before, during, and after the session are strongly encouraged.
