Bio Statistician II at Duke University Health System
No Offer – Interviewed in Nov 2009 – Reviewed Feb 7, 2010
Interview Details –
This job was advertised everywhere. Every bulletin board, Monster, universities, etc. I don't think they characterized it accurately, as it was not truly a job for a statistician. What they were looking for is a SAS programmer with 5 years of experience. They told me 90% of the job is data management. Code samples required.
6 30-minute interviews with various staff. They do all the talking.
Interview Question – Why do you want to work here when the same job in the private sector pays more? Answer Question
