Interview
Applied through HR but never heard back so I contacted the department directly and was offered an interview week later. HR phone interview, then met with CRC in person and then met with direct supervisor.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Sep 2013
Interview
I applied for a position online and then found a friend who worked there who also referred me internally. About a week or two later, I received a phone call with a general summary of the position and questions about my education and experience. I was then invited to an interview with the HR person and it was pretty relaxed. There were some standard "why do you want to work here/ think you are a good fit/ interested in cancer research?" questions followed by some behavioral questions. I was then sent to interview with the PI and their assistant, during which they mostly described the position and only asked a few questions about experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were a few questions about whether I knew how to use MATLAB or SPSS which I wasn't expecting because they were not listed or discussed previously.
