Gotta get that “tell me about yourself” section more succinct. Once I nailed that to like 5 minutes, it left time to get to the important stuff.

Essentially, you want to economically fly through your portfolio since they’ve already seen it. I typically get to questions as fast as possible after giving them what they need to know.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors.

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
