Asked about my knowledge about the theory behind molecular methods I used (PCR, qPCR, etc.), about previous experience, and also if I ever worked in customer service (as I would have communicated with people a lot).

Next level was a two hour presentation to a panel of 8, talking about their instrument which I don’t have the proprietary access to. I was asked about how they should perform their SOP, which is not something I would know ?? But I provided suggestions. Then despite all the hours and days I spent on these interviews I was Ghosted!! Nobody even had the courtesy to even write and say thank you for your time!! You were not selected!! I’m never applying here again!!
