Behavioral Technical

I got this job by emailing and mailing my application. A friend of mine had a connection that got my resume to the hiring manager, who was the director of the Graduate School of Management. I prepped by researching Clark and the GSOM office's offerings. I also prepared questions based on the job description. My friend mentioned they thought I was overqualified and that I'd need to prove I'd stay in the role for a while. I suspect I didn't get the job because I'm currently an intern career advisor, and the director might have thought I wouldn't be happy in an administrative role. The interview was tough, and the director had been a recruiter before.

The interview was conducted over Skype. They focused heavily on my research experience from grad school and undergrad. I had to explain analytical techniques I used and walk through the instruments I operated. The interview lasted about 40 minutes. The interviewer seemed really keen on basic communication skills as well as the scientific details, noting that it was important for them to hire someone who can communicate well.
