Clinical Psychology Interview Prep

[Lea0919]

Hi all,

I cannot find a topic anywhere about this.  If there is one- feel free to post it here, but I thought it would be helpful for anyone who is getting ready for interviews to post any questions/comments/suggestions while we all struggle through this together?

For example, I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on prepping for an interview and what materials you do/do not read.  Specifically I am looking through my POI's material, (they have a lot of publications even in the last year), and I am not sure if I should spend time reading the articles that they are not the first author on?

Cheers

I would say read the abstracts and discussions if you can to see where they may take the research in the future - also pay attention for the methodology as well.  Pay attention to the most recent research and look over their lab website if they have one. Try to figure out how the research relates to one another or what the broader themes are. This doesn’t require reading every single article. Honestly though they aren’t going to “quiz” us on their research (but you should be prepared). I’m brushing up on their research, coming up with ways to relate it back to my own interests, and coming up with a lot of questions to ask about them, their lab, and the program.
