1,482 scientific interview questions shared by candidates

Most of the questions were very standard: why Mofo, why Law, how do you deal with difficult people, how would you build a team, explain your PhD thesis: most folks were very collegial and professional. I did get questions from the partners about a) how long my PhD took (and was that "normal", b) what I had included or not on my cover letter (with the undertone I had purposely left something out: 1 page limited space) I was asked about previous jobs (start-ups), Be prepared to defend your CV history. There was concern I would not be able to transition from a scientist to a patent agent (please note PhDs were required for this application).
