To encourage active learning, Beyond Grad School includes a Take Notes widget with prepopulated questions and exercises. Students type directly into the widget while watching the video, and then print or save their notes.

This feature is unavailable in the demo site.

This deep dive helps students prepare for their interviews — including lessons on how to prepare strong STAR statements, how to show evidence of their accomplishments, and how to answer common interview questions.

 

Many students are also new to professional etiquette, so this deep dive includes additional lessons on what to bring to an interview, how to dress, and how to prepare their own questions for an interview.
