Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Give me an example of a problem you solved using xx method you learned
- Brief sit in with the people involved, talk about the research and responsibilities, as well as time commitment (was part time). The position varies for the professor and school you work with within Georgia Tech, some may be much harder than others. I was lucky as they needed a lot of new members coming into the lab.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2013
Interview
Not that Thorough. It was 1:1. Maybe 30 mins long one time. Professors don't make great interviews. At the time they were hurting for employees. They care more about results and your past work history results than your personality, which is expected in a Science which is an introverted field.
