Behavioral Technical
I applied for an Assay Development Scientist position. The hiring manager interviewed me first and thought I'd be a good fit for two openings, asking if I was interested in either. I said yes. A week later, the department director interviewed me. I reiterated my interest in either position. He mentioned one had been filled and asked me to guess which. A week after that, a senior manager interviewed me for a protein engineering role, which I hadn't applied for. A few days later, the director rejected me for the protein engineering position. It seems like a good company, but they could be more organized about who they're interviewing for what roles.
