      Scientist Interview

      6 May 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      La Jolla, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at UC San Diego (La Jolla, CA) in Sept 2010

      Interview

      It's been a short-term job for 3 months, so the interview by primary employer was just a 30 min phone conversation and as I was told by staffing agency that they decided to hire me. Eventually, it appears that my criminal background was not satisfactory (DUI) and I was not offered the job.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      It's been a question about NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) and what I'm going to do as a first step given specific circumstances they have.

      Scientist Interview

      9 Aug 2010
      Anonymous employee
      La Jolla, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UC San Diego (La Jolla, CA) in Aug 2010

      Interview

      I made a cold call to the company and they responded within a week with an interest to discuss the possibility of a hire. They were clearly interested and ready for hiring. I think that do the home work to find a interesting company which is ready to expand is most important. Make it easy for them to like you and want you. Avoid being complicated, like requiring a huge moving package or bonus.
