Behavioral
Before the interview, I had to complete a lengthy and detailed medical questionnaire that included questions about my mental health medications. Despite my reservations about the potential risks, I chose to be open about my prescription. Although it didn't affect my job performance, my disclosure led to some judgmental comments during the interview.

I had a couple of back-to-back interviews, each lasting about half an hour. One was with the lab head, and the other was with HR. Both went really well. The interviewers were super friendly and put me at ease, asking typical questions about my experience, previous workload, strengths, and weaknesses.
