Behavioral Technical

As a Teaching Assistant, it was easy to get hired as a Research Assistant. It depended on the topic and my background. I emailed a professor expressing my interest and background. He replied and we met for about 1.5 hours to discuss my past research and future projects. We were both happy, so I got the job.
