Transform Your PHD Interview With This Revolutionary Strategy - Begin Your Journey To Success Now!

Doing a PhD interview is scary for all of us - for both the interviewer and person that is being interviewed. I would argue that you should be yourself during the interview, but you really should think about a couple of questions that come up during the interview process.

Tell me about yourself?: What I realized that people were not really looking for your hobbies and interests. What they are more interested in is why you actually want to do research in the thing that you are planning on researching.

For example, if you are thinking about doing a PhD in chemistry, you might want to talk about how you always wondered how oil refineries worked. If you are interested in doing a PhD in entrepreneurship or innovation, you might want to talk about your interests in watching Shark Tank, and why you always saw investors take on a role in investing. You might want to investigate the role of emotions on investment decisions.

Tell me about yourself is always focused on the research. It’s rarely focused on things that are not important to the career.

Here is another important question: What are your research interests? What we are asking you is whether you read some of our work, or the work of notable scholars. Ideally, you should read an article or two from the people that are interviewing you. I wish I would have known this, so I would have had a much more fun experience with my interview. Simply by reading a few articles will make you about 95% better than all of the other candidates.

You can even point out that you really liked their research, and that you were thinking of extending their research idea but including other variables or a new setting. What we are looking for is someone that is going to be sharp and thought about research already.

What I would like to do is go into the interview confident and comfortable.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.


A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.

Hi David, your story is inspiring. It parallels my story, during primary and secondary schools where I was an under-achiever. I am 66 years old and doing a Master's in Computer Networking & Informatics. I am tentatively looking to do a PHd, however, in Transformative Leadership, in an area that has to do with both information technology & politics. Thank you for your wonderful advice and wanting to give back. joe.

I’m an undergrad psychology student and I was surprised that people wouldn’t read the interviewers work. It seems like such a great talking point and it demonstrates critical thinking. I also think it shows you are confident and willing to pose new ideas even if someone else won’t agree, which is not a common skill. I like watching these videos and I am surprised there aren’t more views😊
