Behavioral Case Presentation
I had a behavioral interview and a case study in the life sciences sector. I wasn't super prepared, so I feel like I messed it up. The case itself wasn't too difficult, though. Behavioral questions and a case in life science field. but I am not that prepared so ruined the interview. Could be better. The case is not hard.
