The interview is very chill, they only ask if you want to work there and gives a brief information of what the work looks like. My supervisor is very nice and she really cares about the students.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
D you want to work here? and What classes have you taken that is related to this field
It's a ok interview. They want to know what you can do and why they should hire you. They may challenge you for some topics that you wrote on your CV. But as long you can explain it well, they will be ok.
Talking with the PI where there was a series of questions. Including research interest and how it aligns with the lab. Additionally, they were well understanding that most of us are students and arranged time accordingly with our schedule classes.
