I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA)
Interview
In person interview with direct supervisor, casual setting, more of a conversation than working through a pre-established set of uniform questions. Was able to ask many questions about the position and its responsibilities.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Georgia Tech (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2013
Interview
Be prepared with what you want to work on. What is your plan? What have you worked on in the past? What do you want to continue to work on? What interests do you have? Why do you like research?
