It was a really informal interview, conducted over Microsoft Teams. It lasted less than 30 minutes and they didn't ask any tough questions, it was mainly to get to know me and my research background. If they decide to move forward, the next step would be an on-site interview.

I applied online and got an email asking for references. Then I had a phone screening interview. After passing that, I was invited for an in-person interview at the oncology and leukemia research wing. The head researcher interviewed me. He asked me if I had any questions for him before discussing my qualifications. After my questions were answered, he told me to get him some references and he would base my qualifications on them. I was upset because my references were on vacation and might not know me well enough. I left for 30 minutes due to parking issues. A day after the interview, I saw a very similar job posting looking for volunteers, and I suspect he called my references, and my previous volunteer work was mentioned, which gave him ideas. I was originally applying for a paid position and was not offered the job.

I got an email asking me to interview. The first interview was online with two supervisors where they asked me basic questions about my background and why I'm interested in the job. It lasted a bit less than an hour. Then I had a second interview in person with the PI, which included a lab tour. This one took about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
