Suppose that, after applying to a publicly advertised position, a person gets invited to an interview for a regular (not time-limited) scientific job at a national scientific research laboratories in the United Kingdom. Due to the location of the candidate, the interview is scheduled to take place as a teleconference (i.e. Skype). The candidate is instructed to give a 10-minute presentation titled ”Background experience of the candidate” for a panel of four scientists. The candidate has a conventional career-path so far with Master, PhD, and post-doc, but has so far not had any “real job”.
What might be effective strategies for the candidate to prepare for such an interview? Needless to say, summarising Master + PhD + postdoc/postdocs in 10 minutes is, to say the least, challenging (read: impossible). How could one focus a presentation and what kind of questions might one expect?
