Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Talk about a time a project did not go as planned and how did you solve the project's challenges.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Sartorius in Oct 2020
Interview
The recruitment department contacted me, mentioning that they had two roles available that I looked like I'd be a good fit for. I was invited to a 1/2 hour telephone interview to discuss the roles further, which required me to take time out of my work day. I was asked three questions for the entire telephone interview, which lasted for approximately five minutes, after which I was told that I was unsuitable for either job.
One of the roles required biotech experience, which it was clear on my CV that I did not have. The other role which was mentioned to me apparently required project management, which was not mentioned at all on the job advert, and I was dismissed for that role, despite having highly relevant experience. I took time out of my day to attend an interview that would have been completely unnecessary had anyone in the recruitment department actually bothered to read my CV through.
