Technical Behavioral

The professor interviewed me personally for her lab. She seemed concerned about budget limitations and training time, and emphasized that the human cell cultures used in her lab are irreplaceable if ruined. Because I lacked extensive mammalian cell culturing experience, which was a requirement not mentioned in the online job description, she considered me underqualified.

Confirmed questions3 questions
  • Can you describe your experience with PCR and how much help you'd need to do it?
  • Tell me about your experience with handling and growing mammalian cell cultures.
  • How would you go about researching a specific topic, like what techniques or data to use?
