Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)

I was contacted by the secretary of the hiring principal investigator. The interview was straight forward; basic questions begin with what have you done before: techniques, animal experience, etc. The hiring manager, also another PI within the group, gave me an overall summary of the group focus and some of the resources available. The hiring manager proceeds to ask about my future plans. It was straight forward. I was well trained in my previous labs. It wasn't my only offer but I thought it was a match for my interest. I proceed to be interviewed by other people in the lab and the hiring manager. This was the first round. If I were to assess the hiring power it would be up to the main PI. He asked me a few questions then after the interview the secretary sent me a formal offer.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 1 week)

I was interviewed by two other techinicians, then one on one with one of the engineers and then the PI. The PI focused on telling me about the lab and learning about my future goals. The others focused more on technical skills. It all took about one and a half hours.
