What role would you like to take on as time/career advances?
For the presentation, basic questions about your research and slides; not many technical questions, more or less clarifications on your projects. The main interview took place after the presentation where they asked soft skill questions. 1) How do you handle working with a difficult coworker? 2) Have you ever been faced with a situation where you had to make a decision without all the immediate information? 3) What is your approach to solving a problem? 4) Describe a time where you had a disagreement with your advisor. 5) How do you prioritize projects and your work flow?
