I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories (Mattawan, MI)
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by one or more technical and behavioral interviews with the hiring team. Discussions focused on my research background, analytical and problem-solving skills, experience with laboratory techniques and data analysis, and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment. I was also asked about past projects, handling deadlines, and communicating scientific findings. The process was professional, organized, and provided a clear overview of the role and team expectations.
