I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Matrix Diagnostics
Interview
- Through agency who set up interview.
- When I arrived the interview was not conducted by whom the agency told me would be conducting it.
- I was given a tour of the building and it quickly became apparent that the role was not lab work and was basically unpacking post.
- The interviewer (manager?) was rude, very unfriendly and actually quite dismissive. However the head of the lab was actually really lovely and came to my defence when the male interviewer was rude.
- They told me about how many people didn't even manage one day on the job - instant red flag
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
"The majority of people we hire quit on or shortly after the first day, do you think you will manage?"
The rest of the interview was quite generic, mainly about my CV.
