The hiring manager emailed me asking about my salary expectations and if I could handle a fast-paced workplace. We then scheduled an interview. During the interview, she reviewed my resume and stated that she couldn't meet my salary request. Although she didn't seem very impressed, I was surprised to receive a job offer. I resigned after six weeks because I didn't receive adequate training.

The first phone interview was a screening to identify the most qualified candidates for a virtual interview. During this virtual interview, they asked questions about the job and my background. Many of the questions were very practical and directly related to the chemist role.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was a bit disorganized and lacked communication between the recruiter and management. It seemed like management wasn't fully prepared to assess candidates, though one manager was competent. The questions didn't really align with the job requirements, even though the ad mentioned needing an associate's degree in lab science or a related field. It felt like the interview was mostly a formality since the lab is always short-staffed.

I only got to do the phone screening. The man I spoke to sounded uninterested in talking to me. Everything was fine until we got to the pay, which he stated my desired salary was impossible to pay, despite the fact that my desired salary was within the posted range on ZipRecuiter & glassdoor. very disheartening.
