      I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at McGill University in Oct 2024

      For a Research Assistant position at McGill University within a casual research group, the interview process typically begins with an initial screening call to review your background, research experience, and interest in the position. If your qualifications align, you may be invited for a second round, often in a more informal setting, where you'll meet with team members. During this stage, they’ll assess your technical skills, such as data analysis or laboratory techniques, as well as your ability to work collaboratively in a research environment. The interview usually concludes with a discussion about the group's goals and expectations for the role.
