Overview
Micromanaging boss? Petty colleagues? Unreasonable expectations? How can you frame questions and assess a workplace, lab, clinical setting or workplace to help you determine if a job, postdoc or residency is a bad fit for you or toxic? How can you get accurate information when current staff might not be motivated to be candid with you? Come to this interactive workshop and we'll show you how to use your interview effectively!
This session is offered as part of Workplace Navigation (formerly Manage Up) and the Faculty Career Series.
