Orygen Youth Health interview questions

I interviewed for two jobs as research assistant at Orygen. One was online and the other was in person. The interview process is quite standard for other academic research positions, but there is one element that I haven't seen at other research institutes before. Orygen interviews will often time have a youth advisory council member on their interview panel and their opinion is regarded highly. The Youth Advisory Council member basically seems to act like a character reference and represents the youth that Orygen works with, they are usually someone in their teens or early twenties and will also ask questions during the interview. Despite this, at the end of the day the people you are trying to impress are still the hiring managers.
