In this conversation, Angela Priest and I discuss how to effectively showcase one's personality in job applications, the importance of finding a work environment that aligns with one's authentic self, and strategies for navigating different corporate cultures. How to answer the question 'Tell me about yourself'.

We discuss the significance of authenticity and personality in the workplace, particularly for PhDs transitioning into industry roles. Our discussion also touches on the challenges of being authentic in professional settings and the value of self-awareness in fostering genuine connections with colleagues.
