Research Associate at University of Leicester
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Leicester, England (UK) Apr 2007 – Reviewed May 21, 2009
Interview Details – When the time of the job advertised, I was just graduated from my masters in science. So, I was applied for the job and been short-listed. In my interview panel, there were three people ( two scientists and one departmental manager ) who were nice to me showing around the labs to ease off my nerves. Eventually, my job interview went for 40 mins and i was selected.
