Your Path
To Industry
Starts Here

As you prepare for the fellowship application and interviewing process in today's competitive market, your first impression will not be a handshake, but most likely a scheduled call or a login link. Companies are increasingly using phone screens to vet candidates!

Think of the phone screen as the rapid-fire checkpoint. It’s typically short—often 15 minutes—and is usually conducted by a current industry fellow. The primary goal for the company is efficient, high-volume screening.
