The interview experience was pretty smooth and professional. It kicked off with a basic screening, checking my academic background, what I'm interested in researching, and if I had relevant experience. Then, I got invited to a panel interview with some faculty and senior researchers. They asked a mix of technical and general questions, covering my past research projects, methods I know, and how I deal with difficulties in long research work. They also wanted to know why I applied and how my skills fit their current projects. It felt like a friendly, academic chat, not a tough grilling, just checking if I'd fit their research vibe. The whole thing took about 2-3 weeks from applying to hearing back.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was okay but I was not prepared enough. They asked me questions about myself and about my goals, as well as tested my knowledge of the society. They also asked me to tell them about myself, and generally ways in which I would provide new and innovative ways to get sponsors and fundraisers.
