Presentation Technical
The interview day went pretty well. I was running a bit late because the previous candidate ran over. My presentation seemed good, but I didn't do well on the questions. Three professors and the head of the research center interviewed me. They asked about five questions, all related to basic technique knowledge. I was too nervous to think straight, and they were looking for specific answers that I didn't give. I knew it was probably not going to work out right after the interview.
