First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Henry M. Jackson Foundation.
Research Assistant
The interview process wasn't too bad. There were three rounds in total. The second interview was done virtually, and the third one was in-person. The lab members were pretty nice and engaged a lot with my questions. They also showed me around the lab, giving me a tour. The questions they asked were pretty simple, making the whole experience feel more like a conversation rather than a formal interview. This seemed appropriate for an entry-level position.
- Describe a challenge you faced and how you successfully managed it.
- Can you discuss your previous research experience?
Research Assistant
It was a good virtual interview, especially if you're passionate about the job's projects and duties. They will ask about your leadership experience on experiments and confirm if you're willing to learn new things. Show your excitement and eagerness!
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- What is your knowledge of our project?
- Do you have any relevant experience?
Research Assistant
It was a one-hour interview with two scientists where they asked me standard questions about the projects and techniques I've worked on. First, I had to explain my projects and they asked follow-up questions. Then, they asked about the techniques I had listed on my resume.
- Could you detail the techniques you are proficient in performing independently, and specify the kits you have utilized?
- Tell me about the techniques you used and the kits you've worked with.
