PS 5: 15 Tips To Make The Most Of Your New PlayStation 5

<h2>PS5: 15 Tips To Make The Most Of Your New PlayStation 5 </h2><div> </div>With the launch of the PlayStation 5, “next-gen” is no longer a thing of the future. We’re officially in current-gen territory now. But every period of novelty brings a period of learning—about new features, new functions, and new ways to play games. It can be a lot to take in, whether or not you’re coming over from the PS5’s predecessor, the well-regarded PlayStation 4. Here are a few tips and tricks that should start you off on the right foot. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://jobklix.blogspot.com/2020/11/15-tips-to-make-most-of-your-new.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="613" data-original-width="920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJHip3DUMwgoBxKzszrdnfDJCZyKcK3X31scxnxLn6hVhHyT9uF6vmLWl1VGuBirA17g-e_j4BMa1IBkKcP2NRf65rW_bc4JvNC_F5yr6v-ECs5r5mfsIf1su1mm0YFh-s_jQh9PsvRhs/s16000/PS5DigitalEdition_02.0.jpg" title="Image Courtesy: SONY" /></a></div> Image Courtesy: SONY Learn your way around.The PS5’s operating system is not like the PS4’s. Many of the parts are the same; they’re just in different places. You’ll learn the ropes in time. Here are a few pointers that’ll give you a headstart: The main <a href="https://jobklix.blogspot.com/2020/11/15-tips-to-make-most-of-your-new.html" target="_blank">dashboard</a> is broken up into two screens: Games and Media. Games are where your Games and related apps, like the Media Gallery (more on that in a bit), are. Media is where you’ll find your downloaded streaming services and the like.This time around, the PS button doesn’t take you back to the main dashboard. It pulls up something called a control center—a string of icons that each perform different console-level functions. To get to the main dashboard, hit the little icon that looks like a house.Your settings are all the way at the top. Just look for the icon, right next your PSN profile, that looks like a gear. Most of the cool stuff you can do with the console can be found in one of the many submenus buried within.Line up some PS4 game downloads.Thanks to the system’s souped-up tech, the PS5 can load PS4 games faster than the PS4 ever did. How much faster depends on the game—sometimes it’s a matter of seconds, sometimes whole minutes—but the verdict is clear: The PS5 is light-years faster. In other words, you may want to wrap up any straggling PS4 games on newer, shinier hardware. That’s not the only way to move PS4 games to a PS5. An external device with PS4 games loaded on it should work just fine with your PS5. Just plug it in and play. (For what it’s worth, I tested it with a standard-issue Western Digital Elements 1TB hard drive. The only hiccup was that I had to plug it into the PS5’s rear two USB ports, rather than the one on the console’s face.) Play Astro’s Playroom.One cool thing about the PS5 is the fact that you don’t even have to buy or download any games to start playing. Every console comes with a copy of Astro’s Playroom—a 3D platformer brimming with charm and neat references to PlayStation history—pre-installed on the solid-state drive (SSD). It’s a lovely little game with some genuinely challenging moments. Beyond that, it’s also a bona fide tech demo for some of the remarkable new things the DualSense controller can do, certainly more so than any of the other games available at launch. Since Astro’s comes pre-packaged with the system, it’s easy to sleep on. Don’t. Give it a whirl. You might find yourself pleasantly surprised. Longtime PlayStation fans, especially, will be thrilled by the stroll down memory lane. If you’re in dire need of the extra space , know that you can delete it. (Yes, even though Astro’s Playroom is a pre-installed file, you don’t have to keep it around.) On paper, the PlayStation 5 has a 825GB solid-state drive (SSD) for storage, but you can only use 667GB for your own purposes. Even though Astro’s Playroom is just 11GB, when you’re dealing with such a relatively small storage locker—when you’re playing games in an environment that regularly produces titles with triple-digit download sizes—every byte counts. And if you’re itching to hop back in, you can always redownload the game from the PlayStation Store. Unlike some of the game’s levels, deleting Astro’s Playroom is a cakewalk. First, head to your settings. Scroll down to the Storage menu. Click on “console storage,” then go to “games and apps.” Simply check off Astro’s Playroom and hit “delete.” And look at that: When you wrap up with other games in the future, you’ll now have no trouble figuring out how to delete them! Conserve energy.The <a href="https://jobklix.blogspot.com/2020/11/15-tips-to-make-most-of-your-new.html" target="_blank">PS5</a> has a few handy energy-preservation measures. Making the most of them is a win-win-win, however marginal, for the environment, your power bill, and your green footprint. First, head to your settings and open up the “System” menu. Scroll down to “Power Saving.” There, you’ll be able to designate how long your console will stay active (basically, the screen is on) during periods of inactivity (basically, when you go for long stretches without touching the controller). There are separate timers for games and for media playback, and they can be ticked up all the way to five hours, which is enough time to watch the first act of The Irishman. In the interest of preserving your triple win, though, you might want to set a lower timer. The Power Saving options will also let you set a time limit for your controller. And, while you’re at it, make sure to switch on both of the toggles in the “Features Available in Rest Mode” submenu. That’ll allow you to make the most of automatic downloads (which we’ll get to shortly). Customize your notifications. Look at all the stuff you can ignore! Screenshot: Sony / KotakuLike a smartphone, the PS5 will let you pick and choose who, or what, is allowed to bother you. Just head to the Notifications menu (near the bottom of your settings). You can turn off pop-up notifications entirely, or decide piecemeal from a wide range of system functions, including Trophies, friend requests, and messages. You can even further designate when these pings show up. Maybe you don’t want them to pop up during video playback but don’t mind them when you’re playing games. The choice is yours. Mess around with the DualSense’s settings.The DualSense controller is arguably the best case for the next generation. The triggers respond with purpose and weight, even going so far to tighten up when you swing between buildings in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Vibrations occur dynamically, signalling game events beyond just “you took damage” or “you ran into something.” It’s a huge step forward beyond the PS4’s DualShock 4, but if you’re not one for haptic advancements, you can tone it down. In your settings, head to your Accessories menu. Open up the “Controllers” submenu. There, you can adjust your gamepad’s vibration intensity. You can make it so controllers, including any DualShock 4s, don’t emit as much bright light—a boon for those who like to game in the dark. And your pets will thank you for this one: You can even turn the DualSense’s speaker volume down. Add accessibility options to the control center.Pull up the control center. (Remember? PS button.) Hit the Options button. That will allow you to add or remove functions—well, some of them. You can’t, for instance, remove your notifications or the power button. You can, however, get rid of the music player, in the event that you don’t care about Spotify recommending you listen to the “Top Gaming Tracks” or “Genre Glitch” playlists. As far as cool stuff to add from the minute you get your hands on the console, try these two: Accessibility. Slating this into your control center allows you to switch up the PS5’s text size and weight on the fly. Beyond that, you can toggle on a whole host of color correction options, and even turn on a high-contrast mode—essential options for those with vision issues. The function also gives you a quick shortcut to the system’s full suite of accessibility settings. Network. You can’t do much with this one, but it’ll tell you whether or not you’re connected to the internet, how you’re connected (Wifi or cable), and what network you’re connected to. Having all that info on-hand at any given moment—as opposed to going to the home screen, going to your settings, going to the network menu, and on and on—is a godsend. Plus, this function adds a shortcut that will instantly take you to the system’s full network settings. Seeing as the PS5 can’t automatically pick up when you switch between LAN and Wifi, that, too, is a godsend. Well, maybe a demi-godsend. Having a PlayStation that can automatically pick up on different internet connections would be a godsend. Check out your playtime stats.I’m thrilled—beyond thrilled, really—to report that you can finally, after seven long years, view your playtime stats at your leisure. You don’t need to sign up for a weekly newsletter or wait for an annual report. You can just view that data directly on your system. One day, Bugsnax will hit triple digits, too. Screenshot: Sony / KotakuFirst, open up your profile (that’s the icon next to your settings). Then click on “Profile” and head to your Games tab. That’s it. A near-decade of data, all there at your fingertips. The clock isn’t to-the-minute—as it is with save files for some specific games, like Ghost of Tsushima—but it at least rounds to the hour. Figure out where your damn captures are.Sony did not make it easy to find your captures this time around. The main bar of icons on the Games tab will include the Media Gallery app—a program that houses all of your screenshots and recorded gameplay clips—but only if it’s among the most seven recent things you’ve opened. Otherwise, you’ll have to go hunting for it. There are three ways to go about that. From your games library: Tab over to the “Installed” menu. Scroll all the way down. It’s the icon with a camera. From the control center: In the event that you’ve recently snapped a photo, you should see it hovering above your control center. Click on it. You’ll see a shortcut that takes you directly to the Media Gallery. With the Share button: Hit the Share button. That’ll pull up an overlay over the bottom sixth of your screen. On the left, you’ll see a thumbnail of your most recent capture. Clicking on that will also pull up a shortcut to the Media Gallery. In our testing, we haven’t found a way to customize that main icon bar on the Games tab, either to expand its size or make it so the Media Gallery app sticks. If you find a way, please let me know. Seriously. I’m dying here. I need to be able to flip through all 41,922 screenshots I’ve taken of Spider-Man (the cat, not the hero) at the push of a button. DM me for the other 41,921. Screenshot: Insomniac / Kotaku Make the most of the Share button.The PS5’s Share button is a phenomenal resource for capturing screenshots and video, with a suite of features that are both streamlined and comprehensive. Let’s break it down, from left to right. You already know about the thumbnail. That allows you to share, edit, or delete your recent captures without having to go to the Media Gallery. You can cycle through the 15 newest.Next is a video capture function that allows you to save gameplay that just happened, even if you weren’t recording. You can preserve a massive chunk—up to 60 minutes—or you can save a short clip, which defaults to just the prior 15 or 30 seconds. When you have five minutes of gameplay or more, it’ll give you an option to save that, too. The value of this feature cannot be overstated. You’ll never have to say, “Man, did you see that?!” again. The middle icon snaps a screenshot.Directly to the right, you’ll see a conventional video capture button. Hit it once to start recording. Hit it again to stop.On the right side of the banner, you’ll see two icons. The inside one, the one that looks like a Far Cry radio tower, is an option for broadcasting. In the pre-release state, we haven’t tested it out, and thus can’t speak to its veracity or functionality.The furthest right icon, two lines that look like timpani mallets, allows you to tweak your recording settings. You can turn the high-dynamic range on or off. You can also mute your mic’s audio or, more blissfully, your party’s. Most crucially, you can flick the resolution from 4K (pretty, storage-intensive) to 1080p (still pretty, but less so, and not as much a burden on your SSD).Beyond the ostensible functions, the Share button has two shortcuts, both of which circumvent the overlay. Pressing and holding the button will snap a screenshot, while tapping it twice will save the prior 30 seconds of gameplay by default. You can by heading to your Captures and Broadcasts menu (in your settings), navigating to Captures, and clicking on “Shortcuts for Create Button.” You’ll find an option that will allow you to customize how long, or short, your most recent gameplay clips are. For a look at what captured gameplay looks like at 4K, check out the following video. Save for a few moments of publicly available trailer footage—which we’ve denoted—all of the footage was captured using the PS5’s internal video capture software set to 4K resolution. Automatically invert your Y-axis—and, sure, why not, your X-axis too.The PS5 boasts one of the coolest features from, of all places, the Xbox 360: an ability to automatically invert your Y-axis on a system level. Well, most of the time. In our testing, we’ve found that it works for a good number of PS5 games but is a nonstarter for backward-compatible PS4 games. Still, it’s a neat feature, and setting it up is a breeze. Open up your settings. Head to your “Saved Data and Game/App Settings” submenu, and scroll to “Game Presets.” You’ll see options for first-person and third-person games, and can fiddle with drop-down menus for the horizontal and vertical axes. Both perspectives have both menus, and all four offer the same options: game default, normal, and inverted. There are some other intriguing presets tucked away in there, including one that remembers your preferred difficulty level (from Easiest to Hardest) and applies it to your new games. There’s another one that can automatically turn subtitles on. As with the universal inversion, these only apply to games that support the respective features. Turn on automatic updates.Back out of the “Game Presets” settings and you’ll see, directly beneath it, an option that allows you to customize automatic updates. Make sure both options—Auto-Download and Auto-Install in Rest Mode—are turned on. That will make sure your games are always up to date, so you won’t have to frantically install, say, the latest Division 2 patch just to party up with your friends. Switch between a game’s PS4 and PS5 versions.From Spider-Man: Miles Morales to Sackboy: A Big Adventure, many of the PS5’s launch titles are also coming out on PS4. This doesn’t pose a huge issue, but if you’re not careful, you might accidentally download the version of the game you don’t have installed. For instance, I have Spider-Man: Miles Morales saved to my PS5. When I look at the PS4 version, which isn’t saved to my PS5, this shows up: It’s subtle, but watch out for those indicators. What’s more, sometimes, the system seems to switch these icons to the alternate version without warning. A hurried eye could miss the arrow and the PS4 indicator and queue up another download, thinking, perhaps, that the PS5 version was by some quirk deleted. To switch to the version you want, hover over a game’s icon, hit the Options button, and select “game version.” That’ll pull up all the available copies associated with your account. Choose the one you want to play (presumably, the one you’ve already downloaded). Oh, and don’t accidentally download both versions of a game. That’s just wasting precious storage space. Heads up: Don’t unplug your PS5 while it’s turned on.It will beep at you, much like the PS4 would, and you’ll be faced with angry screens reminding you—shaming, even—why that was such a bad move. As if you didn’t know. Instead, learn how to turn the PS5 off properly.With the PS5, you could power things down by holding the controller’s PS button and navigating to the system’s power options. You can’t do that with the PS5. Instead, you have to pull up the control center and go allllllll the way to the power button on the right. You could also use the Kotaku-patented wrap-around trick. Pull up the control center, hover over the home icon, and flick the thumbstick left. Voila! You just saved 0.91 seconds of scrolling. That’ll add up over the years. Of course, you can always just turn off your PS5 the old-fashioned way: by hitting the console’s physical power button. PS4 owners will be comforted by familiarity; the power button, once again, is semi-hidden in plain sight. Here’s exactly where to find it: Obligatory 16th tip about having fun.Seriously. Have a blast. The PS5 is a tremendous machine, and is brand-new right down to the operating system. We at Kotaku have had our hands on the console for a few weeks now and are still learning new things every day. If and when you discover some terrific life hacks for this thing—of which I have no doubt there are many waiting in the wings—swing back and share them below.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris make victory speeches: 'A time to heal'

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Joe Biden and Kamala Harris make victory speeches: 'A time to heal'</h2> President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris made victory speeches to the nation Saturday night in Wilmington, Delaware, with primetime remarks stressing unity for a sharply-divided nation. Harris, 56, the first woman and first woman of colour to be elected vice president, was first to take the stage, savouring the solo moment in a suffragette-white pantsuit, waving to the crowd and smiling broadly as she approached the lectern.  Vice President-elect Kamala Harris arrives to speak Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020, in Wilmington, Del.She went on to thank the voters, organizers, poll workers and activists who she said delivered a clear message in what became a referendum election, choosing, she said, "hope and unity, decency, science, and yes, truth!" "You chose Joe Biden as the next president of the United States. And Joe is a healer, a united, a tested and steady hand. A person whose own experience of loss gives him a sense of purpose that will help us as a nation reclaim our own sense of purpose," Harris said, talking up her former opponent and now partner. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris addresses the nation from the Chase Centre, Nov. 07, 2020, in Wilmington, Del.The daughter of Indian and Jamaican immigrants, Harris also thanked her late mother and the generations of women before her -- "including the black women who are often, too often overlooked but so often prove they are the backbone of our democracy." "When she came here from India at the age of 19, she maybe didn't quite imagine this moment," Harris spoke of her mother, an Indian immigrant. "But she believed so deeply in an America where a moment like this is possible, and so I am thinking about her and about the generations of women, Black women, Asian, white, Latina, Native American women, who throughout our nation's history, who paved the way to tonight, women who fought and sacrificed so much for equality and liberty and justice for all." The world is watching the US election. What are they thinking? Supporters arrive to attend an event with President-elect Joe Biden, Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020, in Wilmington, Del.She gave credit to Biden for helping her ascend to the second highest office in the nation and said she hopes her place on the stage will inspire others to follow. "What a testament it is to Joe's character that he had the audacity to break one of the most substantial barriers that exists in our country and select a woman as his vice president," Harris said. "While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last. Because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities," she added. MORE: Joe Biden defeats Donald Trump for president in bitter and historic electionBiden, after nearly 50 years in public and three tries for the White House, then took the stage and squarely focused on healing a divided nation -- but first took a moment to tout his history-making win. "Folks, the people of this nation have spoken," Biden said to cheers and honking horns. "They've delivered us a clear victory, a convincing victory, a victory for we, the people. We've won with the most votes ever cast on a presidential ticket in the history of the nation -- 74 million."<div> </div>

On Computers: Toe to Toe with Alexa and Google

<h2 style="text-align: left;">On Computers: Toe to Toe with Alexa and Google </h2> A child asked me which was better: Alexa, the voice inside the Amazon Echo Dot, or Google Assistant, the voice inside the Google Home speaker, renamed “Google Nest.” Until recently, I would have said Google Assistant. That was before I read CNET’s “9 Things Alexa Can Do That Google Can’t.” Of course, right after that, I read “9 Things Google Can Do That Alexa Can’t.” Let’s start with some Alexa differences. Alexa can play Apple Music as one of many choices; Google makes Apple music off limits. Alexa listens for burglars, alerting you if she hears glass breaking, an alarm going off and other sounds. (But you must turn on “Guard” in “Settings.”) Also, Alexa can hear your whispers and whisper back.  OK, Google’s turn.  Google answers questions much better, even about Amazon products. I asked it about the new Amazon Halo, a Fitbit-type wearable. It answered perfectly. When I asked Alexa, she miffed it. Another thing I like about Google: It lets you play music, podcasts, audio books, video and other audio on another speaker or on your TV just by asking aloud. Now for some similarities: When I tried the free Alexa app on a new phone, it prompted me to set up an emergency contact. It will contact this person next time I say: “Alexa, call for help.” But both Alexa and Google can call friends and family by name, if they’re in your contact list. Fun Facebook Features ●     “Favorites” is a new Facebook feature. It puts the people you care about at the top of your newsfeed. To find it on your computer, click the down arrow in the upper right and choose “News Feed Preferences.” Then click “Favorites.” ●     “Watch” shows you videos based on what they think your tastes are. When I clicked it, I saw a guy play a typewriter in an orchestra performing the novelty tune “The Typewriter.” I also saw two guys performing “The Evolution of Piano.” But most of the videos on my list involved animal rescues. Obviously, Facebook has tagged me as a friend of the furry. You can find “Watch” on the left side of the Facebook home page. What to Do When Your Mac Freezes The first thing to do when your Mac freezes is to walk away for a minute or two.  It will make you feel better. It may even fix things: The problem could be a single program. By giving the system a rest, it gets a chance to catch up with you. Another thing you can do is press the “Command,”  “Option,” and “Escape” keys. This brings up an option called “Force Quit,” giving you a chance to shut off any resource hogs. If you’re not sure who the offenders are, check the “Activity Monitor.” You’ll find it under “Applications” and “Utilities.” HowtoGeek.com has more tips under the headline “What to do if your Mac Freezes.” For Serious Artists If you don’t want to shell out $429 for the basic iPad and an Apple pencil to go with it, consider an $80 Wacom Intuos tablet. It comes with its own pencil. Using a Wacom tablet plugged into your computer enables you to use a wide range of art and photo programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter or the free “Gimp.” With an iPad, you’re limited to apps. The effects of digital paint are so realistic now that artists can create masterpieces without the fuss of paint, inserting details they’ve created before. Why reinvent another nose if you’ve already got a great one to slug in? During installation, the program asked me whether I would use it for 3D modeling, animation, illustration, comic design, web design or other professional-sounding activities. I chose “creative sketching.” It’s a bit intimidating, but the free “Gimp” program has some great tutorials starting at square one. If you prefer drawing on an iPad, see CNET’s article, “The Best Apps for Drawing on an iPad.” They chose “Procreate,’ “Autodesk Sketchbook,” “Art Set 4,” and “Lake.” Windows Updates Do you ever install the “Update Preview” in Windows 10? If so, you’re helping Microsoft by being a beta tester. You can get to the Update Preview if you click “check for updates” in the last half of the month. There’s always a chance it might fix something on your machine, but experts say it’s better to stick with the stable version. Microsoft uses your experience to issue bug reports before the regular update is ready. The update appears on the second Tuesday of the month. Internuts ●     Poets.org: If you like love poems that rhyme, search at Poets.org for those written before the 1920s. Better yet, do a Google search on “Love poems before 1920.” Then look for an address with dot org in it, such as classicalpoets.org. ●     Speedtest.net, as so many readers reminded me, is the place to go to check your internet speed, not Speedtest.com. Thanks, guys. Making Money on Zoom ●     “Luma,” free from the Zoom Marketplace, lets you sell tickets to your Zoom events. ●     “OnZoom” also lets you sell tickets and promote your events. If you wish, you can sign up for other people’s upcoming events, such as “Back to Basics Breakfast Classics” and “How to Play the Ukulele.” Most are free. ●     Whether using OnZoom or Luma, you must have the paid version of Zoom, It’s $149 a year.

5 Questions PhDs should expect during a job interview (and how to answer them)

<h2 style="text-align: left;">5 Questions PhDs should expect during a job interview (and how to answer them)</h2><div> </div>The first time I had an interview it was a disaster. I answered all the questions wrong. I had never interviewed before, but for some reason I thought I was going to do great.  Right from the beginning it was bad. The first question they asked me: “How are you?” For which I gave my generic automatic answer Fine how are you. My interviewer also said fine and asked if I could tell him a little bit about myself. So, I proceeded to tell him that I was a PhD student.  I kept my answer rather succinct because I’d read how long-winded answers are a fast track to not getting hired. I learned that the opposite is also true. The 45 minute interview was over in 20 minutes and by the end I knew very little about who was interviewing me or whether or not the company was a good fit. To be honest, the interviewer probably didn’t know much about me either.  Communication is not about being short and succinct or long winded and drawn out; it’s about giving enough information to get your point across and engage with others. There was no connection between the interviewer and I.  Over the next few weeks, I practiced some of the most asked interview questions. By the next interview I felt a lot more confident. My answers were informative enough but to the point. I deflected the salary questions, inserted my own personality and bonded with the interviewer over our shared hobby, horseback riding. Who knew that would be my ticket in? I got a call back the following week for the second interview with the team, where we all shared a love for hiking. It felt less like an interview and more like meeting new friends.  The job offer was in my inbox a week later.  Interviewing In A RecessionYou’ve sent out the resumes, maybe even passed the phone screen, now it’s onto the interview. This can be the most stressful part of the job hiring process. Remember, you were picked amongst the hundreds of applications as a qualified candidate for this position. The job offer may be close, but there is still one last barrier; the interview.  How you answer these questions could mean the difference between getting your dream job offer and falling back into unemployment. As the pandemic moves forward, the global economy plunges deeper into the recession, increasing job competition and making interviews a little harder to get through.   However, preparing adequately and staying ahead of interview trends can put you ahead of the competition and help you secure that job without interview anxiety.  49% of hiring managers report that conversational skills heavily influence their decisions on candidates. So, it’s important to think of the interview like a conversation and showcase your ability to communicate effectively. 5 questions PhDs Are Likely To Get During An Industry Interview 1. How are you today? Can you tell me a little about yourself?These are the first two questions you will have to answer during the interview. In fact our polls show that 90% of PhDs reported being asked these questions. So how should you answer them?  First of all, you want to keep your answers positive. The recruiter or interviewer doesn’t want the first thing they hear from you to be about your problems. This sets a very negative tone for the rest of the interview. Instead, when asked how you are, simply say “perfect”. It is short, succinct, and conveys optimism and certainty, which is what they are looking for right now.  “Can you tell me a little bit about yourself” is always the second question. Most hiring managers have not poured the hours into your resume that you have. They are likely scanning your resume as you are introducing yourself. So, the best way to answer this question is with your elevator pitch. Don’t think they should already know because they have your resume or that you shouldn’t repeat things that are there. Instead, tell them who you are, what you want, and why they should care. Who you are goes beyond your technical skills and previous position. You can also add personal details. In fact, the person who is interviewing you may not have any technical skills, so adding that you like to go dancing or knitting will humanize you, show you have personality, and make you approachable.  What you want is always the job you are applying for, but make sure your why is not “because I need a job” or “because I need to pay my rent.” You want to show them that you have passion for this role beyond a paycheck. Maybe it’s because you want to work with a product that helps people with a certain disease or a company that is passionate about educating people on XYZ.  Studies show that an interviewer only needs 90 seconds to decide if they will recommend you to the hiring committee or not. This is true even if the interview lasts 45 minutes. In that time, you can only answer these two short questions. So, make sure you have confident and positive answers that embody your unique personality and the qualifications that make you an ideal candidate for this role.  2. Why should we not hire you?This can be a tough question to answer. They are asking you to give them a reason to move onto someone else. Don’t give them an answer. This is the new “what is your greatest weakness” question.  Don’t let them trick you into saying something bad or negative about yourself. Instead, take the higher ground. Tell them that the only reason you can think that they shouldn’t hire you is if they can’t live up to their brand/mission/purpose of the company. State some specific facts that you like about the company. This will show them that you know what they stand for and that you believe you fit within this mission. 3. How do you like to work?This is an important one as the trend of a decentralized workforce continues. More and more companies are switching to a hybrid or fully remote model. For these changes to work, companies need to know their employees can work autonomously. Furthermore, they need to know that employees can be productive with no or little oversight.  They are looking for not only how you like to work and whether that fits into the company culture but also how you prioritize your work and keep track of projects. Highlight some tactics you’ve used to make sure things don’t get lost or are done at the last minute. Maybe this is creating a daily to do list every morning over a cup of coffee, or an afternoon power walk to refocus your day. Also include how you communicate with others. Are you someone who will jump on a call with anyone at any time or do you like a little bit of warning. How do you inform your current boss/PI of your progress and how do you track that progress over time? These are the project management skills you’ve gained throughout your PhD career, but you need to show how these skills translate to an industry setting and the company’s goals.  4. Questions on salary.This is a common screening question and one that many PhDs get blind-sided by. Know that this question is coming and learn how to deflect it. You never want to answer this question with a number. If you aim too high this could automatically disqualify you as a candidate. If you aim too low, you will look like you are desperate to get a job and you don’t know your value.  There are two great ways to deflect this question. The first is to simply say “I will consider any reasonable offer.” This puts the questions back on their side. In addition, adding the “reasonable” implies you know what you are worth and you are not going to take a low salary. It shows you have an idea of what the salary expectations are.  The other way to deflect the salary question is to say that you are not concerned about salary right now. State that you are more interested in getting a better picture of the role and the team to assess your fit within the company. This will make you more attractive as a job candidate. You are turning the tables on them. You are showing that you are not concerned with money but rather with ensuring that your skills will allow the company to be productive.  5. Questions on why you want to leave academia.This question may have several answers. Maybe you are upset by the lack of funding for academia. Maybe you are sick of the poor support of the verbal beratement by your PI. These are all reasons why you may want to leave academia but are not the best ones to share with your potential future employer.  Instead, think of these questions more as why do you want to transition into industry? When we think of why we are moving towards our future instead of why we are leaving our past, it’s easier to frame things positively.  This is a great question to showcase some of your business acumen. Show them you have an understanding of industry and highlight the elements you are looking forward to. Maybe you are really excited about the prospect of working with people or being involved in the drug development process. Academia typically does not have these applications but industry does. So, frame your answer around the positive elements of industry, instead of the negative aspects of academia.  In ConclusionPracticing how to answer common interview questions can help you sound more confident and be able to ‘think on your feet’ during the actual interview.  These are just 5 of the most asked interview questions for PhD-level positions, but they all have some underlying themes. During the interview, you need to stay optimistic and passionate about the role and show how your past prepared you for this particular job. Never give them an excuse not to hire you and always show you know what the company aims to do and how you fit into their culture and team.

Diwali is celebrated with Diyas, rangoli's, lights, and with a lot of enthusiasm and joy. On Diwali, it is believed that Lord Ram returned to his home Ayodhya after defeating Lanka King Ravana. Lord Ram came back home after 14 years of Vanvaas and people welcomed him by lighting Diyas and lamps. However, this year Chhoti Diwali is falling on the same day as Badi Diwali i.e. on November 14. That means one less holiday this year. Narak Chaturdashi or <a href="https://jobklix.blogspot.com/2020/11/diwali-2020-this-year-as-chhoti-diwali.html" target="_blank">Choti Diwali</a> is usually celebrated a day before Diwali, but this year, it will be a different scenario as it is falling on the same day as Diwali.<script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-6792250860248713" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-slot="2191465791" style="display: block; text-align: center;"></ins><script>
