Interview
They call me on a saturday at 9 am without sending any e-mail and they started the interview right away with weird unprofessional questions! They did it several times cause I applied to different posts
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know about CRV?
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
How to convince people that using animals for research is needed?
The process was straightforward and professional. I first had a phone screening with HR to discuss my background, interest in the role, and basic qualifications. This was followed by a virtual panel interview with scientists and the hiring manager. Questions covered my research experience, technical skills relevant to the lab’s focus, and examples of troubleshooting experimental issues. They also asked about working in a team and adapting to shifting project priorities. The interviewers were friendly, gave clear information about the role, and seemed genuinely interested in my experience. Overall, it was an organized and respectful process with no unexpected or overly tricky questions.
