    'Be an extroverted character of yourself'
    Whilst this is undoubtedly a piece of good advice for my introverted self, I just realised I have used this technic throughout my uni (as a shy and awkward overseas student) - be a character of yourself who speak good English, be a hardworking character of yourself, be a sporty character of yourself, etc...

    Thank you Andy for the tips . I watched yopur video a day before the PhD interview, it clearly helped me GOOD NEWS, I got in to a doctoral program.
    They didnt ask me questions like tell me about yourself. But the first question was why do you want to do a PhD and why in this university. They also asked about my methodoloy , why I choose it? etc

    I always asked my self what make. Dr Andy different and why his words have this huge impact, that you need to listen more and more and wish if each video is longer, I think this may be to due to huge amount of work, truth, passion to help others and accmulation of experiences as WELL AS great personality able to deliver ideas in the most efficient way thx so much Dr Andy really we need a customised golden like button 👍only for your channel since one like is really unfair for this valuable content.

    Thank you Andy, I watched your video a few times and really thought about my answers to potential questions.
    I’m pleased to say I was offered a PhD starting October. Keys things I did which really helped was read the interviewers research and publications. I also hopefully showed how receptive to coaching I would be.

    I had my interview today. On zoom. I realised around an hour before that I wasn't going to perform well, felt very nervous and didn't have all my presentation flowing off the tongue and no time to fix it. I had to resort to vodka to try and loosen up! And then they didn't give me any softball questions like 'tell up a little about yourself', but I had very technical questions. But thanks for the prep help! I think I have no chance of getting it.
