    Highlight point: The interview is not a test but a conversation. Keep the conversation, and don't be afraid to make a mistake.
    Thanks, Maria :D I have an interview this afternoon. Hope it goes well. Thank you very much, and this video is really helpful for me.

      @ hi, I didn’t get the spot but I could make it to the final round. I think one of the deciding factors was my lack of coursework in biophysics (my area of research). All rounds were easy. I just had to explain what I worked on and what I’m interested in. In the last round, they were selecting people best suited for THEIR projects.

    So: calmness and the true appearance of how committed the person is to his research field and topic are key. You have to be calm, but enthusiastic about the subject! Did I understand correctly?

      @@MrHKGuizi I was in applied ethics, specially on a project about the ethics of automated vehicles. The questions where only about my technical proposal, and then things like 'what have you read or seen in the news lately about this subject that you have found interesting' and they wanted specific current examples. Also they asked, 'what do you think will be the biggest challenge in joining this research team?'. It was a paid position so perhaps they were a little more demanding.

    The applicant review process used by your program is a bit weird. In our program students are admitted to the program. All students are guaranteed five years of support. Each admitted student is required to rotate between a minimum of two labs and then it is the student that selects a faculty mentor. Since the students are not supported why faculty grants they are free to develop their own projects. If my future advisor had asked me to read a paper in his area in 15 minutes and then respond to questions I would have failed. When I applied I was interested in animal behavior. However, I was fascinated by the work in a Drosophila genetics lab.
