Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Wellcome Sanger Institute (Hinxton, England) em fev. de 2026
Entrevista
My interview experience was positive. The panel was friendly, approachable, and helped create a calm atmosphere. The questions were relevant to the Lab Assistant role and covered both role fit and technical experience. They asked about teamwork, handling challenging situations, previous cell culture experience, and how my practical laboratory skills matched the role. Although I was not selected, the feedback was encouraging. I was told that I performed well, but the successful candidate had more direct stem cell experience, while my experience was mainly in primary cell culture.

the role was related to stem cell/organoid culture and so i was asked my experience with such cells, and that if i hadnt worked with them, how i would culture such cells.

It was not too crazy, all reasonable questions. We did a lab tour, not bad at explaining day-to-day work, looks like good team. Didn't get an offer at the end because they decided not hiring anymore

Entrevista
An initial online screening consisting of generic and behavioural questions related to the role was immediately followed by a technical coding assessment (non-biology related). After the coding assessment, I was invited to an on-site interview that included a panel interview and a presentation. The TA team was slow to respond until followed up, and the outcome was provided after the declared timeline, with feedback only given upon request. Considering this application was for an urgent temporary role (less than a year contract) with no scope for extension, going through more than 6 weeks for an application is arguably excessively long and disrespectful of candidates' time.
