I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Eurofins (Mebane, NC)
Interview
Formal interview following initial email and phone correspondence. Standard interview process from my experience and not intimidating. Tour of facility after the interview including a quick meeting with potential colleagues.
I had a 10 minute interview by phone and then got ghosted. I barely had time to deepen my answers and talk about my experience. I found it a little disappointing .
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience with mammalian cell culture?
First round is screening general question and the second round would be a presentation of projects that the chemist has been involved so far in order to show their knowledge and skills and they will be questioned base on their presentation
It was kind of annoying as it was re-scheduled 2 different times. One for going over a previous interview and the other because the interviewer lost track of time. They also did not realize I was still in college when it clears says I am on my resume.
