Its very good and beneficial for new comers. I also appeared before some time and the interviewer asked me about my future plan after completion of my PhD. What do you say about this, please?
I've now been offered a project I was excited for and now I'm having doubts. I've asked for a bit more time to decide, but I'm worried. Am I just nervous, or does feeling this way mean it's not what I really want?
I had my interview today. Went terribly! All these KZread videos set me up for softball questions, like 'tell us a little about yourself' and 'what are your strengths and weaknesses?' I got technical questions that I was unprepared for.

Can you perhaps elaborate on that? What field? And some examples of the questions that they asked? Thanks a lot!

@@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.

Yes they hardly ask questions like tell me about urself and stuff like that. It is always the ideas about the project and the techniques

What an odd thing to say - did it tickle your paedo bone
U talked a lot in your interview 😂😂😂😂
ADVICE for Marco, don't overuse 'like' as a pause filler, it sounds, like, very basic, like, English
