Interview
One on one with the professor in charge of research. Follow up with an email offer to join the company. No benefits included but the salary package was in a competitive range
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How will you integrate your education with the current research development here?
It was a standard sit-down interview after cold email. This was a direct recruitment. I was required to bring my resume and listened to a presentation on current research, followed by a round of q+a.

Question 1
How have you implemented bioinformatics in your previous undergraduate research?
A lot of positions are posted on Handshake but sometimes professors in your department/program will know of other professors, either in that same department/program or in a different one, and they can connect you with an open opportunity. Interview scheduling was made by email and took place in the building for that discipline. They are usually scheduled for 30 minutes and ask about your skills, why you are qualified, and why you want the position.
