Entretien
Applied online, an initial call screening was set up about a week later and was relatively informal and more informational. Once a position of a desired shift opened I was contacted and an onsite interview was scheduled. The interview consisted of three different PPD employees: my "manager to be", my "manager to be's manager" and then another employee from a different department. I was interviewed by each in a conference room individually for periods ranging from 40-60 minutes. The majority of the questions were behavioral in nature with a strict STAR response needed. Be sure to have 15-20 specific stories ready to draw from and use "I" language when explaining, no general "we" language. There were a few non-behavioral questions thrown into the mix but were nothing shocking, just standard "good to know" employer questions like "where do you see yourself in 3-5 years?". All three interviewers were polite and informative as well as receptive to questions or pauses before answering questions. I was offered a bottled water for the interviews which was a plus. Overall, nothing unexpected... would have liked a tour of the facilities though. You can likely get this job if you care and prepare!!

Question 1
Have all classic behavioral questions mastered with specific examples prepared in STAR format, ~90% of interview was in this style. What WAS surprising, however, was that very little was asked about technical skills other than highlighting what I was familiar with on my resume but to be safe I'd still prepare for these.

Very short and easy. Asked a few technical questions and focused on the resume. The interview consisted of two 30 minute sessions. There was one initial interview with the HR department and then a second interview with the mangers of the lab.

the interview was straight forward and easy. I was asked about my relevant experience (work and school) and they asked questions to gauge my team work skills. I spoke to two separate people, one eventually became my boss
