Behavioral Presentation

After applying, I had a quick phone chat about my background and how it fits the job. Then, I met with a panel of the team for an interview where I talked about my work in research admin, working with other groups, and managing money from the government. The whole thing was pretty fast and organized, and I got a good feel for what the team cares about and how they work together.

Behavioral Technical

First, there was a really quick telephone interview with some random screening questions. Then, a 2-step Zoom call interview. I met with the professor first, and then some other employees. The meeting with the professor went super well, she even asked me which team I'd want to join, making me feel like I was gonna get the job. The team interview was okay. After that, they ghosted me. I followed up but got no response. Two months later, I got the rejection.
