Research Associate II Interview Questions

Had to explain undergrad research project and diagram examples.

How do you handle reporting to a difficult person?

I had to do a project on Bioinformatics for NGS analysis

What did you have to do to get people from various levels on board for a problem.

Since this is a government contract to support the NCI and its labs, there were going to be government staff working side by side with contract staff. I was hired in to manage the laboratory and my future supervisor asked would I be OK managing the NCI employee needs, but not the employee. This was a very weird question, and I was not aware of the absolute separated relationship of the contractor and government. In my other position here with a different contractor, this type of thing never came up. It continues to be a difficult facet of work for the contractors
