Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was minimal; it mainly consisted of a facility tour prior to receiving an offer. They already had my resume and GPA information. The interview itself felt more like a casual conversation.

The entire process was quite drawn out, taking over 8 weeks from initial application to the second interview. It started with a phone interview, followed by an in-person interview, and then a second interview. Be warned, though! The Principal Investigator for the lab I was interviewing with assured me a position was available (I figured they saw potential in both me and another candidate and wanted to hire both), but after the second interview, I heard absolutely nothing back.

I had a one-on-one interview with the principal investigator (PI) who was hiring. I went to their office and we talked about what the job entails, some background on their research, and why I'd be a good fit for the role. After that, I was offered the position.
