You have prepared a killer resume and you have been invited for an interview! Now it’s time for you to show who you are and why you are a great fit for the position you have applied for.

Enrolling a PhD program is a major career decision. And most PhDs have trained their ability to both working hard and to keeping up with a laser like focus to reach their final goal, the thesis. Although the PhD itself is an accomplishment your future career success will not be served on any silver plate. To land your dream job, weather you find it or create it, you also need to apply yourself.
