Less than a week after applying for the position, I was contacted by phone by HR. We had a very pleasant discussion about the position and what I was looking for in an employer. After about 10 minutes she asked me to come in and speak to her in person, which took place about three days later. It was one-on-one with a talent acquisition specialist and very informal; she looked over my resume and asked me what areas I was interested in. She also explained the administrative side of the position; salary, vacation time, benefits and the hiring process. It went very well and she told me she would submit my resume to the departments I was interested in and I would hear if they were interested in me. Less than a week later, I was contacted by the clinical research coordinator of the department. She asked me if I could come in the same day for an interview (we spoke about 10 am and set the interview for 3pm), which I did. That interview was with two people, the CRC and the clinical research manager. It was more formal than HR but not overwhelmingly so. They asked typical questions; why do you want the position, where do you see yourself in 5 years, that kind of stuff. They do ask for a two year commitment so be aware of that. The interview went well, and I was told that they would make a decision within a week. Three days later the CRC contacted me again for an interview with the Service Chief in the department. That interview was very short and seemed like the physician in charge just wanted to make sure he knew who would be working for him, because he didn't ask me anything that hadn't been covered by the first two interviews. An hour after I left, HR called with an offer for the position. They do perform an extremely thorough background check, so be prepared to let your references know to expect a phone call.
