CIRCLE Fast Track Weekly Discussion Series
International students, join CIRCLE to chat, learn, and exchange ideas with your undergraduate and graduate peers from the U.S. and across the world! The weekly discussion series consists of seven topic that rotate each week between cultural and academic themes: three topics focus on tips and strategies to accelerate your adjustment to living in the U.S. and four topics on ways to boost your academic productivity. You will leave each session with new knowledge, different perspectives, helpful tips and strategies, resources for future learning or development, and most importantly, friendships that could last longer than your educational journey at the UW.

Are you curious about the interview process and what it entails during initial stages? Behavioral interview questions (typically asked during the 1st or 2nd round of interview) involve questions about your experience (e.g., Tell us about a time when you solved a challenging problem) and the way to answer these questions determines whether you will be proceeded to the next stage of the interview process.
Join experienced professional development training professionals from CIRCLE and MentorX to learn more about the interview process and strategies to prepare and be successful in responding to behavioral interview questions.
This event is co-sponsored by the UW Center for International Relations and Cultural Leadership Exchange (CIRCLE) and MentorX. Please send your questions or comments to Ziyan Bai, CIRCLE Assistant Director of Graduate Programs and Operations at baiziyan@uw.edu.
