I applied online. I interviewed at TLL (Singapore) in May 2024
Interview
Started off going through resume, with interviewer (PI) asking about past work experiences, what I did etc. Moved on to technical questions, was asked very technical and industry-specific questions about cell biology, biotechnology and molecular cloning techniques e.g. how would you plan the experiment in this scenario to measure this, what assay to use, why and how to execute. This lasted for around 45mins. Finally was asked to provide my two referees at the end and about generic career plans. PI said they would contact my referees for a referral letter shortly after the interview, but never reached out to my referees.

I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at TLL in Jan 2022
Interview
Interview is swift and concise. PI will set the expectation. Questions including your background and the relevancy to their research projects. The hiring process is relatively fast, got an offer around 1 week later and everything went smoothly
