- 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.
r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform
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.
wow! You are incredible!!!! Keep it up! It is an honor to be part of your life!
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😊
Yup. Weird, right. We all do this. Slow down and take the time to do things right.
I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
“…and if you’re watching this, you’re kind of a normal human being.” I’ve never felt so humanized 😭
Anyone here in 2023 using this to prepare for their PhD interviews?
Yes in 2024
Yes!
Yup. 2024
This Tuesday (2 February 2021), interview!!! I am Neurosciences PhD candidate...wish me luck!!! Doing my last "preparations" 🙈🙈🙈
Hope you saw my shout out in the last video! Good luck!
I'm surprised by how your channel is massively underrated.... really good content👍
Hahaha. Must be my looks that are scarying people away...
@@R3ciprocityTeam I don’t think so, I think most people like entertaining content
Hi David you are doing a great job! I didnt come across your video on how to answer this question:
Can you share an example of facing a difficult problem, and what strategies you
used to solve or overcome this problem?
"Well explained about what we should keep in mind before sitting in an interview. Thanks."
Hi. I just wanted to ask that I got an interview email for PhD from one of US universities which said it's an interview about a fellowship. My interview with supervisor was already done beforehand applications, and this interview was the second one which had the three committee members. What shall i infer from these kind of interviews?
Prepping for my interview on Thursday, so nervous 😭😭

I have PhD interview March month
Please help me
I was asked to present where I come from... What I am expected to answer? 😅
My interview is in 2 days and I’m nervous af
Thanks for the helpful video. I have a question though, for my upcoming interview I am given 5 minutes for a self introduction, such as your graduation degree in which area, skillset, and research projects I completed. Do you suggest I make slides for this or just speak about everything the way you did in this video?
Get after it! Hope it went well?
R3ciprocity Team it went fine from my perspective. They said I’d get a decision in a couple of days 🤞
HI :) thank you for this video. I have a question
I have an interview next week. The topic is fixed. There are two interviewers from two different institutes.
Both of which have not collaborated since 1991.
None of which have done any research related to the topic.
What I have done is look up the previous PhD dissertation. They were not supervised by these interviewers.
What should I do? Do I focus on the topic related research (Aka the thesis), or should I look into some of the publications of the interviewers? I am freakigj out here because they both have very technical publications on areas that I have not been exposed to. I'd be really happy if you could give me some advice.
Thankyou
Hey Swanson, I hope your interview went well. I am in a similar situation, any tips for me please?
Really helpful! Please keep up with the good content :D
Thank you! It’s an honor to be part of your life!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
It’s an honor to be part of your life!
@@R3ciprocityTeam Very kind.
I have interview march month I need your suggestions
Is undergraduate thesis considered as research experience?
I have my ph.D interview at Monday.... I am basically nervous person. I don't know how to control myself 😰
Wow! This is amazing!
I hope you did well...
What happened ..tell us
Where can I get a list of universities in the USA that provide a Ph.D. to professionals while working? Tried hard searching on Google but no luck.
A Ph.D. in what and what is your goal?
Would not recommend this route. Just get a professional degree like an mba.
@@Austin-gb1cq I am looking for a Ph.D. in management, the ultimate goal is to enter into academics and work on research projects. @R3ciprocity Team: I already have an MBA from a US university and currently working in the software industry.
@@avinashjoshi1215 It sound like an online PhD program would be more suitable for you with work, like Walden University.
Great
Watching cause I have an interview this coming Monday... Sooooo nervous 😭😬
What happened then ?
Can you tell me your about interview?
I am having a phd interview tomorrow and i am freaking out!!
You got this!

Hello sir can i interview you about research??? As part of my phd requirements
I am kinda booked up right now, but let’s stay in touch!
My area of interest is Economics
Imagine your future supervisor just steps down and tells you how you can win my vote. But don't get me wrong, he's def not my supervisor.
You got this!!!!! It’s an honor to be part of your life!
Just did phd interview and watch this video afterwards 😆

U have spoke it about 12 minutes but I didnt get u that u really answer the question
It is my opinion I might be wrong so plz dont take it.

Interviewer: "Tell me more about yourself!!"
Me:"Hi, my name is Peter-Man .... I mean .... Spider-Parker ... damn!"
5 seconds of awkward silence!
Me:"It was a pleasure meeting you!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I said i did my masters in 'college name' from 'subject'
