Question 1
What experience do you have with managing large data sets?
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Chicago Botanic Garden (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2014
Interview
Phone interview was brief and Bob Kirschner asked me about my background with field work. Sit down interview was with Bob and the Aquatic restoration manager. Informal and very friendly, but focused on making sure the physical work wasn't going to be a problem. Also, the work is seasonal so they wanted to be clear that there would be a possibility for rehire after the season ended, but it wouldn't be for a few months.
