What Does Pop Music Have to Do with the Hiring Process?
Job searching can be confusing, overwhelming, and honestly, exhausting.
This evening is here to give you real tools, real talk.
No fluff, no fake tips. Just one real evening about what actually works.
Opening Remarks
Speaker: Ronny Rechtman, Senior Computational Biologist @Immunai
Ronny will give a brief introduction to mapping the immune system with AI.
Main Talk
Speaker: Galit Bary-Weisberg, Sr. Data Science Manager
A behind-the-scenes look at recruitment from the personal perspective of a hiring manager – from crafting your CV, through interview preparation and conduct, all the way to staying professional (and even optimistic) when the answer is “no.”
What does Noa Kirel have to do with interview prep?
What makes a CV actually enjoyable to read?
And how do you bounce back after a rejection?
In this honest and hands-on talk, I’ll share what I love to see from candidates, as a hiring manager who’s been on the other side of the table many times. We’ll talk about how to prep your pitch, how to handle tricky questions, and why being yourself (yes, even "provocative") might just be your superpower.
Hands-On Sessions
After the talk, stick around for interactive, career-boosting activities:
LinkedIn Photo Booth
Need a new profile photo that says “professional but still me”? We’ve got you.
You’ll get a short one-on-one session (2–3 minutes).
After the event, we’ll send you a link to download your lightly edited, ready-to-upload portrait.
👉 Please arrive dressed the way you’d want to look on LinkedIn.
Pitch Practice Circle
Sharpen your elevator pitch in a safe and supportive circle. You'll give your intro and receive targeted feedback from fellow participants: what stood out, what was inspiring, and what could be clearer.
CV Date: Boost Your Resume in Pairs
Bring your CV (printed or on your phone). You’ll be paired up to review each other’s resume and spot weak bullets to upgrade. Then swap again for fresh feedback.
