Question 1
They asked me about my previous experience and my schedule. Commitment to the projects and time-management is essential to getting the job
2 rounds of interviews after submitting resume. First, with research assistant, then screened for another interview with project coordinator and principal investigator. Asked typical questions, mostly asking me to describe projects and experiences from my resume. In the first interview, they asked me to do a very short role play of interacting with a patient. Otherwise, quite smooth. Called me within 2 weeks to deliver offer.
