Great opportunity to work with my very lovely office mate.

'The Craft of Interviewing.' We wrote this with ECRs & PGRs in mind. It's long, but it covers much ground. You won't find simple answers, but you will find a foundation from which you can develop your skills & style. As always, DM questions. Pre-print 👇🍺 sportrxiv.org/index.php/se...
