I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UCLA Health (Los Angeles, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Initially, the prospective department calls you to schedule a group interview. After successful completion, they call once again for a 1:1 in person interview to meet with the principal investigator (PI). If you are selected for the position, the lab manager calls you within the week. The process usually takes around 1-2 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing too difficult. Since it's an office job they want to make sure you are smart, flexible and likeable.
