Perguntas de entrevista da empresa Certified Laboratories

The interview process was an open interview and you could select a date. I first met as a group with HR and she went over all of our resumes. She said she was conducting the interview since the supervisor was in a meeting. At the end, I was the only one who proved to have the required skill set and, miraculously, the GC supervisor was suddenly available and could interview me (I think this was just a way of weeding out the people who were incompetent). The GC supervisor was very nice and asked a lot of specific questions related to my resume, followed by questions about the instrument itself, then trouble shooting questions when running the instrument. It’s honestly the best interviewer experience I had since I felt he was prepared to ask a lot of questions with intent (other experiences it seems like interviewers don’t care and think of questions on the fly). I waited two weeks and got a call from HR I would be meeting with the lab director. I met with the lab director who recently started. He was also a really nice guy. His questions were more about personality and finding a fit. Overall, the interview process was fine in the sense that the GC supervisor and lab director were approachable (HR was so/so). But you do really have to have an understanding of the GC, in and out. I think I demonstrated that. Based off comments from the lab manager, he seemed to like me. Overall, I think someone with more experience was hired, but I don’t believe I was a bad candidate for the role. Study up on your GC knowledge before the interview.

The interview process was disorganized and unprofessional. The initial virtual interview felt more like an interrogation than a conversation, with the interviewer coming off as dismissive and unclear about the role—leaving me confused about the actual job duties. Despite my qualifications, including a relevant certification, I felt my experience was minimized. It then took days to coordinate a second, in-person interview (which went much better thanks to the microbiology manager). After that, I was left in the dark. Follow-up emails were mostly ignored, and communication was sparse and delayed. Nearly two weeks later, I finally received a vague update about delays in the process. By then, I had already accepted another offer. Altogether, the experience showed a serious lack of professionalism and respect for candidates' time.
