Be an Interviewer in AAPS’ New Mock Interview Program
Conduct mock interviews to give candidates a chance to hone their interview skills and develop self-confidence. Students, postdocs, and others entering the pharmaceutical sciences have asked for help in presenting themselves as the best candidate for opportunities in all professions. You can help!
Interviews are not based on specific job openings – you do not need to have expertise in their science.
- Sign up for a designated time in the PharmSci 360 Solution Center. Time slots are available starting at 9:00 am ET each day of the meeting.
- Candidates should leave their mock interview with advice on presenting themselves well in an interview setting and having experienced what an interview situation feels like.
