ACT Signature Webinar series provides accessible education to members of the toxicology community worldwide. The Signature Webinars are held on a quarterly basis and are free to both ACT members and nonmembers for live and on-demand viewing.
These educational webinars cover current topics in toxicology and are presented by experts in the field, with backgrounds in government, industry, or academia. Each Signature Webinar is approximately 90 minutes, which includes a 30-minute questions and answers session with the speaker(s) following the presentation.
After each live event a recording of the presentation is placed in the ACT Signature Webinar Archives.

ACT Member-Exclusive Webinar
Ask an Expert: Applying for Toxicology Jobs and Buttressing Oneself for Success
Sponsored by the Membership Committee
Speakers:
This webinar will cover how to effectively apply for, and ensure consideration for, toxicology and toxicology-related jobs, as well as provide strategies for preparing for the interview process. Specific topics to be covered include:
- How does one go beyond applying for jobs on company career sites, LinkedIn, or career advertisers like Indeed, Zip Recruiter etc.?
- Tips for networking and information seeking from present employees at a company, for purposes of gaining more information and presenting one’s qualifications for an open position. [Current Human Resource practices typically place barriers to discussion, even to the point of AI tools being used to screen applicant resumes.]
- A review of the common steps taken in interviewing applicants that are advanced for consideration (HR discussion, Hiring Manager discussion, team/peer group discussions, seminar presentations and discussions with people in adjacent departments. [Behaviorally based interview schemes will be briefly covered; additional details in a future ACT podcast.]
- Tips for preparing for any stage of the interview process, to include researching the company, its employees, preparation for questions which are commonly asked, seminar strategy etc.
- Time will be available for questions and answers.
This webinar is a benefit of ACT membership. There is no fee, but advanced registration is required.
Dates, speakers, and topics are subject to change.
