Preparing for the Interview

Here are some suggestions to help you during the interview process for positions here at UTMB or elsewhere.  These guidelines are considered industry standard.

Directions and Parking. When called for your interview, ask the interviewer's name, the department name, the building name, suite number, visitor parking locations and a contact number.

General campus maps are available here.  UTMB has several sites on Galveston Island not located on the main campus.

UTMB also has locations off of Galveston Island.  You may wish to go to MapQuest if you are unfamiliar with a particular site's location. 

Give yourself enough time to arrive early and to familiarize yourself with UTMB's campus. 

Research. Learn everything you can about UTMB before the interview.  Look  for department mission statements and service information.   There are many  sites available listed in the left border of this page.

Any opportunity to talk to people who are in the know will benefit you more than any Web site possibly can. Networking is still the favored source for job research.

Take this opportunity to demonstrate that you took the initiative to conduct some research and are interested in working here.

Interview. The interview process is a professional experience.  Know your strengths and weaknesses.  Review your accomplishments and how UTMB, the department and the interviewer would benefit from your talents.

Re-read your application, thinking through your own career and the questions we might ask you. You should try to anticipate general questions which we will ask. You should also prepare questions to ask us.
