Question 1
If given a large amount of time and financial resources, what is one research project you would like to participate in?
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (Laurel, MD) in Jun 2024
Interview
First, a 30-minute Zoom conversation, more of an initial phone screen, talking about my resume and experiences. Then if that goes well, you talk to a Talent Acquisition Recruiter, talking about benefits and logistics if an offer is given to the candidate. After this meeting, the main 2-hour interview is conducted with the team. This consists of a short 20-minute presentation about the group, then your short 20-minute presentation on any technical skills you bring to the group, where the team asks you questions. After this, the team broke up into two smaller groups where they asked you more specific and technical questions.
