Interview

Filled an application online and i received an email with various times and dates to schedule an interview about 1 week and a half after filling out application. First is an interview with HR, very technical questions. Mostly behavioral and if you are able to move around freely or lift certain weight. Then some prepared question of technical stuff. After about 1 hour i was sent to the lab for an interview with the PI and the group. The PI had a conference call so i waited for about 40 mins for the interview. He told me all about the lab and things he expected me to do in the lab. At the end he gave me a quiz and told me to turn it it when i was done and go take a look at the lab if i wanted to.
