Industry Research Seminar
Lauren Celano
Many graduate students and postdocs are familiar with the academic job talk, but what if you have to give a job talk in an industry setting?
Lauren Celano, Founder and CEO of Propel Careers, has recruited for organizations hiring graduate-trained scientists for more than 15 years and has organized countless job talks. In this interactive talk, she'll discuss why organizations ask for a job talk (hint: it’s not just about the research you're doing) and offer tips for how to structure your talk, showcase your experience, and tell your story. We'll also consider questions you can ask the organization to help you understand who will be in the audience and what their expectations are for the talk.
While this talk will focus mostly on research-focused job talks, the general tips apply to other types of job talks or interviews where you need to describe your research.
