Tips for Interview: Timing and Appearance is the First Impression

For many interviewers, your showing up late is immediate cause for canceling the interview. It doesn’t matter that traffic backed up, your cat threw up a hairball, or you just got lost in the elevator. Being on time is not racing down the final corridor with moments to spare. Some interviewers agree with New York Giants football coach Tom Coughlin—being late is not being fifteen minutes early.

Nice Hair . . . And Love the Lipstick

Poor grooming is a basic turn-off. Wearing so much perfume or cologne that a gasping interviewer lunges for the window is a bad way to start. So is wearing more makeup than a runway model, clanking along with a pocketful of change or an armload of bangles and bells, or doing your best Priyanka Chopra five o’clock shadow impression. This is an job interview, not a celebrity interview!

You may have pertinent skills and experience . . . heck, you may be perfect for the job . . . but you never get the chance to tout your credentials if your grooming makes a poor first impression.

Uh, Does That Tie Glow in the Dark?

Do I really have to tell you, ladies, that a dark suit is appropriate dress for every interview? Given the tube tops, sneakers, short skirts, and patterned stockings I’ve seen waltz through my door (and all on one candidate!), maybe I do.

For men: white or light blue shirt, conservative suit, silk tie, shined dress shoes.

Crack GD PI: Interview Preparation Mindset

Employers are looking for self-managing employees—people who are versatile, confident, ready and able to work with a team, and not afraid to roll up their sleeves, work long hours, and get the job done. “That’s me,” you chortle. Congratulations. But you won’t get the chance to prove yourself on the job without making it through the interview process.

Interviewing was never easy, and right now it is harder than ever. Companies are taking far longer to make hiring decisions, and then only after putting prospective employees through more and longer interviews. One search firm reports that many candidates have had to interview a half dozen times or more for a single position.

But of all the tools in your professional arsenal, your ability to shine in that brief moment in time—your first interview—can make or break your chances for a second go-around and, ultimately, dictate whether you’re ever given a shot at the job.

Cambridge International Scholarship Scheme (CISS) 2011

The University of Cambridge will offer, via the Cambridge Trusts, approximately 80 Cambridge International Scholarships to Overseas Students who embark on a research course in the next academical year. The awards will be made on a competitive basis to those applicants considered by their departments to be the most outstanding.

Eligibility

To be eligible to receive a Cambridge International Scholarship students must:

  1. be liable to pay the Overseas University Composition Fee.
  2. be engaged in a three year research programme leading to the PhD (i.e. will be registered as PhD, “Probationary PhD” or “CPGS”) starting in the next academical year.
  3. be engaged in full-time study.
  4. have a high upper-second-class undergraduate honours degree from a UK Higher Education Institution, or an equivalent from an Overseas Institution.

Please note: all students applying for a course of one year duration or less (including LLM, MSt, MBA, MED, Part III Mathematics, MPhil) in the next academical year are not eligible for a CISS award in the next academical year.

Application Process

  1. In order to be eligible for a CISS award commencing in the next academical year, you must have applied for admission/continuation as a graduate student to the University of Cambridge either online (admission students only) or via the Graduate Admission and Scholarship Application Form (GRADSAF) by 1st December 2011.

    It is important that you send in your supporting documentation as soon as possible after you have applied for admission online, because your application will not be looked at until this is received. The closing date for this funding is firm – no late applications can be considered.

    If you are not certain which application process applies to you, please contact Kathy White at the Board of Graduate Studies.

    Kathy White (kathy.white@admin.cam.ac.uk)

  2. Every eligible applicant for a three year research course leading to the PhD in the next academical year will be considered to have applied for a Cambridge International Scholarship provided their completed application is received by the Board of Graduate Studies before 1st December 2010.
  3. Applicants are expected to also seek funding from other sources.
  4. The application must be fully complete, i.e. including academic references and a research statement. The CISS committee will only consider academic achievement and research potential. It is therefore critical that academic references and a research statement are included.
  5. Candidates should note that, given the volume of applications, applications which arrive after the deadline will not be entered for the Cambridge International Scholarships competition, nor will we provide feedback on the outcome of this competition at any stage.
  6. In January the Board of Graduate Studies will submit a list of all eligible candidates to the relevant departments/faculties.

The competition proceeds in a number of stages:

  1. Ranking
    In January and February, the departments and faculties will consider your application against all others and draw up a ranked list of their top applicants.
  2. Nomination
    Departments/faculties will nominate the very best candidates from their ranked list and submit this, together with a departmental/faculty statement of support, to the Board of Graduate Studies.
  3. Offer of Admission
    Departments/faculties will make a recommendation for an offer of admission to the Board of Graduate Studies for their nominated applicants.
  4. Selection of top nominated candidates for CISS awards
    In March, all the nominated candidates with a conditional offer of admission will be considered by a selection committee comprising academic members of the Board of Graduate Studies. The committee will draw up a list of candidates who will be made an offer of a CISS award immediately. A reserve list of candidates will also be drawn up who may receive a CISS award should any become available. These candidates will receive a confirmatory email. Several hundred partially funded awards will also be made by the Cambridge Trusts to candidates unsuccessful in obtaining a full cost CISS award.

If candidates have not received an email by the end of April, they should assume that their application for a CISS award has not been successful.

It is a condition that successful candidates must meet all their outstanding conditions for admission to the University in order to receive CISS funding.

Interview Tips in Simple

Most interviewers are not trying to torture you for sport. Their motive is to quickly learn enough about you to make an informed decision—should you stay or should you go? By the same token, if you
know what they’re looking for, you can craft your answers accordingly (and reduce your own fear and anxiety at the same time).

I hope you’ll take it a step further and use these questions as the basis for some thoughtful self-exploration. You’ll need to be prepared to think for yourself—on your feet, not by the seat of your pants.

While competitive, certainly, the interview process is not a competition. Rather than thinking of yourself as an athlete trying to “out answer” the other candidates, consider an interview your chance to be an artist, to paint a portrait of the person you are, the kind of candidate any company would like, respect, and want to hire.

Despite the emphasis on “great answers,” I do not recommend rote memorization. Trotting out a staged, textbook answer to a question is not the point of the interview process . . . or of this book. It is actually more important to concentrate on the “What do they want to hear?” section after each question, to have an understanding of why the interviewer is asking a particular question and what you need to do to frame a winning answer.

PhD Position in Personal Data Servers

The SMIS (Secured and Mobile Information System) team at INRIA is offering two Ph.D. positions in a new project to start December 1, 2011. The project is in the area of Personal Data Servers and deals with data privacy and embedded databases.

About the project: an increasing amount of personal data is automatically gathered and stored on servers by administrations, hospitals, insurance companies, etc. Citizen themselves often count on internet companies to store their data and make them reliable and highly available through the internet. Personal Data Servers suggest a radically different way of managing personal data. It builds upon the emergence of new portable devices combining the security of smart cards and the storage capacity of NAND Flash chips (from Gigabytes to Terabytes soon). By embedding a full-fledged Personal Data Server (PDS) in such devices, user's control of how her sensitive data is shared by others (by whom, for how long, according to which rule, for which purpose) can be fully reestablished and convincingly enforced.

More information about the project and the PhD research topics can be found here: http://www-smis.inria.fr/

About INRIA: INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control, is one of the top research center in Europe. It is dedicated to fundamental and applied research in ICST. More than 3000 scientists work in the 174 research teams of INRIA. INRIA is based at Rocquencourt, close to Versailles and Paris.

Placement in the Best Companies: Apritude Test

Most organizations as well as many educational institutions use some form of psychological testing as part of their selection or employment procedure.

Testing has become routine because it is often perceived as essential, even though there may exist evidence of prior learning (school, college or professional qualifications) or previous experience (job record and other attainments).

The main reasons are:

• to give an indication of long-term potential for a course, training or job;

• to give up to date information;

• to provide data that is relevant and fair.

Employers and educational bodies are in a position to compare people’s performance on tests with other measures of success.

For these reasons what tests seek to discover is:

• What can you do now – have you got the ability?

• What potential have you – have you got the aptitude?

This workbook has a comprehensive range of tests of the types commonly presented to intending students and job applicants.

Master and Doctoral Studentship in Bioinformatics at German Cancer Research Center 2011

2011 Scholarships in   Theoretical Bioinformatics and Cellular Biology in DKFZ Germany

Study Subject:Bioinformatics and Cellular Mechanics
Employer: German Cancer Research Center
Level:Master/Doctoral
Scholarship Description:Mechanical factors play an important role in many basic biological phenomena on different spatial-temporal scales: from tissues and single cells to sub-cellular structures. The ability of cells to appropriately sense, process and utilize mechanical energy and signals is essential for the normal function of the entire organism. A number of severe disease, such as Cancer and Progeria, is known to be related to altered mechanical properties of the cellular matter. To reveal the mechanisms behind the observed mechanobiological phenomena, we develop novel approaches to quantitative analysis of cellular mechanics using a 3D image- and model-based framework.

Within the scope of the ongoing multidisciplinary project, the relationship between genotype and mechanical phenotype of the cell will be systematically investigated by means of the high-throughput screening of mechanical properties of RNAi-knockdowns. Successful candidate will be given the opportunity to carry out a state-of-the-art research work on an emerging, high-impact area of science between molecular biology, bioinformatics and biophysics. Work will be carried out in the division of Prof. Roland Eils within BioQuant, the Center for “Quantitative Analysis of Molecular and Cellular Biosystems” at Heidelberg University.

The category A scholarship amounts to a monthly allowance of 1000€ per month which equals 12000€ per year for two years. In addition the students will receive a contribution to travel and installation costs at the beginning of each school year of 4000€, coming to a total of 8000€ for the two-year course. The tuition fees will be covered by the scholarship.
