I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at TAP Biosystems (Royston, East of England, England) in Dec 2017
Interview
Face to face interview with H&R, Hardware manager, R&D manager and a senior engineer.
Review of your CV/ experience and technical questions of different topics related to the position.
I discussed beforehand with the recruiter my concerns about not being the right candidate due my lack of experience in the 40% of the requirements. As far as I know the company read my CV and they thought that I was a good candidate.
Anyway I went to the interview but according to the recruiter I was discarded due to my lack of experience in certain fields. No issues at all about the rest.
I wasted 3.5 hours doing my best in what I have experience but I couldn´t fulfill the expectations of them in the fields I don´t have experience (thing that can be read on my CV).
