The most common question was what my long-term career goals were (conversion to staff, industry, or academia). Invariably this led to discussions about how the lab would support both my personal goals and theirs. |
I was asked my family status, and whether they need to do something about the 2body problem. (Vary positive but it came out of the blue for me) |
If you were interviewing candidates, what question would you ask them that we haven't asked already? |
