Interview Advice for Roles in Clinical Research
By Lauren Celano, CEO, Propel Careers
Lauren Celano wrote this article for The Monitor. Given the topic of the upcoming FILS event tomorrow night, I thought I would repost this article.
When interviewing candidates for roles in clinical research, prospective employers look for passion, relevant skills, culture fit, personality fit, and excitement for the role. Responses to interview questions are carefully considered, since these provide insight into what a candidate is looking for, their interest in the role, previous work style and experiences, and potential to thrive in the new role. The responses matter. The full article can be viewed at this link:
