First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Tufts Medical Center.
Research Assistant
I talked to three different people, one after the other. Two of them were pretty chill, but the third one was intense from the start. She basically said she wasn't going to go easy on me and that she'd be blunt. Then she laid out all the bad stuff about the job. She even asked if I'd worked full-time before, even though it was on my resume. It felt like a confrontational interview.
- Did you have a full-time job prior to this one?
Research Assistant
I submitted my resume online through the school website and got an email for an interview within a week. I met with the research coordinators for a formal interview and then was introduced to the principal investigator (PI). The whole thing was pretty quick and relaxed. I heard back with an offer a week later.
- Can you tell me about your research background?
- What programs have you used in your research?
- What courses are you currently taking?
Research Assistant
Got the email and they set me up for an onsite interview. The first round was really nice, but the second round had more questions. They asked for a writing sample three hours before the interview, so I couldn't prepare it. Make sure to bring everything with you to the interview, even if they don't mention it.
- Why do you like your school?
- What's your favorite class?
- What are your weaknesses?
