First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at George Washington University.
Research Associate
I had a phone interview for a research associate job at the Milken Institute School of Public Health. It was a conference call with the professors in the department. The research focused on the Affordable Care Act. Because I didn't have experience with the ACA, I was disqualified even though I had strong health law and policy experience. The interviewers were nice.
- Could you introduce yourself and describe your experience with the Affordable Care Act?
- What is your experience with the Affordable Care Act?
Research Associate
I applied in September and emailed back and forth for about two months before having a phone interview with the Principal Investigator in November. I followed up more and eventually got a second in-person interview with the Director in December. They hired me, but messed up my start date because they never actually finished my background check, so I didn't actually start until mid-February.
- Can you tell me about your past research experience?
- What was your level of involvement in writing and preparing manuscripts for your previous research?
Research Associate
It was a pretty straightforward interview process. There were a few rounds, some involved talking with peers and two were with supervisors. Mostly, they asked about my previous experience and my motivations for applying.
- What made you interested in the job description?
