    Highlight point: The interview is not a test but a conversation. Keep the conversation, and don't be afraid to make a mistake. Thanks, Maria :D I have an interview this afternoon. Hope it goes well. Thank you very much, and this video is really helpful for me.

    @@MrDeguoGuizi I was in applied ethics, specially on a project about the ethics of automated vehicles. The questions where only about my technical proposal, and then things like 'what have you read or seen in the news lately about this subject that you have found interesting' and they wanted specific current examples. Also they asked, 'what do you think will be the biggest challenge in joining this research team?'. It was a paid position so perhaps they were a little more demanding.
