3. The definitive game plan for your next interview, brought to you by Neuroscience / by Leon Chlon

LinkedIn is a super important tool to expand your network, find exciting companies and businesses, and also people to share their experiences. That's the beauty of LinkedIn - many people are open to being approached. Maybe someone has an exciting job that you could also imagine and you want to know what the best way to get started is so that you can perhaps work in such a field? Get in touch...

I recently came across an exciting article by Leon Chlon, PhD , who shares his experiences in job interviews - and how to prepare for them! Leon has an exciting career path, from Top Tier Consulting to Top Tier Bioinformatic.

He describes himself as

Machine learning engineer and interdisciplinary scientist trained at the intersection of software engineering, statistics, machine learning, bioinformatics and econometrics, passionate about using computational tools to improve scientific understanding, industry decision-making, economic planning and personalised healthcare.

Here's his story:
