      Microbiology Analyst Interview

      Jan 1, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Coventry, England
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ALS Global (Coventry, England) in Sep 2019

      Interview

      I received an Email asking me to confirm interest in the role. I was offered a time and date for interview. The interview was fairly simple, asking basic competency questions. A few slightly more specialist questions were thrown in, directly relating to the field. As long as you have a basic understanding of scientific principles, and pay attention to the questions and whats being asked (for example knowing the difference between a negative and positive control and implications of each), then it is an easy interview. They wanted me to start as soon as possible, which meant I needed to think it over very rapidly, as they wanted an answer quickly. I rejected it, due to being low pay and night shifts. Upon reflection, I reconsidered and factored in the shift allowance, thus chasnging my mind. Alas they were no longer interested, as I had listed my fears in working there, so I can understand why they were no longer interested. I applied for several other roles, to which I was actually better suited and more interested, however they have since ignored every application for every role since then, despite clearly wanting me to begin with. I attempted to contact HR, in an effort to improve chances at some of the roles I was better suited to, however their HR has also failed to reply, or even acknowledge emails. I understand their hesistance fully, however their reluctance to consider me for other roles is disappointing. And the failure of HR to respond to Emails is a much larger failure on their part.

      Question 1

      If the positive control sample comes back as a negative, can all of the results from that batch that all read negative be trusted?
