Advice on university interview - how do I impress 5 professors?!

2 replies

I'm looking to move into a different field and have an interview soon with a university for a role related to funding and research. Frankly, I'm feeling a bit intimidated by the prospect; there will be 5 (!) professors on the panel and I need to do a 10 minute presentation.
I've got lots of experience and I'm an 'older' candidate, but never worked in academia before.
Any tips on what they might value in terms of my general approach/style/use of management tools? I'm considering just being really open about where I am a good fit and impress them with my enthusiasm in the parts that I'm lacking...

@spearthatbroc - I know! 'Cept, I think it's more of a complicated admin role in the most part. And it's virtual, with some people from outside the UK joining. :-/
