Presenting Yourself To Your Best Advantage
In this 85-minute on-demand program, Mary M. Mitchell explains the key elements of the interview process, while helping you build your personal “professional presentation style”. The program was originally designed for biomedical postdoctoral scholars at the University of Pennsylvania, where it continues to be extremely successful. Now we are able to provide the webinar piece of the program to all scientists. We recognize that the individuals who will be making use of this presentation have advanced in their career up until this point through the excellence of their science; now they can focus on personal excellence to move them ahead further.
As you listen to Ms. Mitchell explain the important aspects of the interview process, such as “focus on communication versus content”, you are presented with visuals – images, bullet points, and outlines – that create emphasis on the essential pieces of information. There is a strong emphasis on United States norms and how these may differ from other parts of the world. This makes this program especially useful to foreign national scientists interviewing in US corporate settings. Furthermore, it can help U.S. scientists better understand the viewpoints they may encounter when interviewing with people from other countries.
Focuses of the program include:
- The importance of recognizing cultural differences in communication
- The importance of relationships
- The significance manners play, when working and dealing with others in a professional environment
- The critical message our dress sends while making the first impression
