Preparing for Interviews | Season 1, Episode 6 The Psychology PhD

    • Education

This is the final episode of Season 1, which covers the process of applying to PhD programs in experimental psychology. In this particular episode, we discuss what you can expect from PhD program interviews and how you can prepare for them. We cover six main topics. First, what is the purpose of program interviews? Second, what are some general tips for interviews? Third, how can you most effectively prepare for meetings with specific faculty interviewers? Fourth, how can you be ready for impromptu conversations with faculty and other department members at recruitment events? Fifth, how can you engage most effectively in other interview day activities? And sixth, how should you handle “pre-interviews” if your program of interest has them?
