I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories
Interview
Meet with HR rep and future Supervisor. Tour of facility and job description. Meet with different staff members to hear more about the company and position. In some cases, there is a facility tour with a senior staff member, Team Leader, to visit the facility and to answer questions in regards to the work performed at the company.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories (Edinburgh, Scotland) in June 2025
Interview
I got an interview two weeks after I applied online. The first round was an onsite interview. There were two interviewers who were very kind and supportive. They asked about my understanding of the company, the role, and four behavioral questions. It took around 1 hour, followed by a 10-minute lab tour.
A few days later, I was informed that I had progressed to the second round. This was an online meeting that lasted about 20 minutes, mainly focusing on why I think I’m a good fit for the role and whether my background matches the position.
After that, I never heard back with any updates. This is the only part that made me feel very sad. Many companies at least give a rejection call or email, but I didn’t even receive a rejection email.
