Very mild-like interview. Some red flags: - do you deal well with stress?! - do you deal well with "end of season" pressures to attain certain objectives set by the company? - how do you solve or mediate the resolution of conflicts with clients? - how do you deal with repetitive work? (Almost calling it boring work...) Routine work? - how would you feel about managing clients and work within our services pipelines? - would you be able to navigate on an environment without any inovation developments in NGS? Or maybe with very little possibilities of managing a project with new R, D & I involvement?! - are you willing to fullfil the economic profits on QIAGEN NGS ? NGS stands for Next Generation Sequencing and it is the fastest progressing field in Molecular Biology reaching out for all Biology sciences with huge impacts forsee in, for instance, Precision Medicine. The job required a PhD in Life Sciences with extensive experience (hands-on) in NGS (asked in detail) and some project manager (should have been PRODUCT manager) experience. Plus, someone highly acknowledged in new techniques to advice on solutions tailored to costumers(?!) ... But it seems that what they look for is a Lab Manager to supervise and deal with the usual routine sequencing going on at the facility.
