Hi everyone! After many rejection letters I finally got an interview at my dream company, a biotech Pharma company. I am a current CRC and it is for a CTA role. The interview is tomorrow! Does anyone have any sample questions or advice?

Is it screening interview with HR or a “real” interview? The HR screening I’ve had was very straightforward. Tell us about yourself. Why want the position then mostly HR sharing info. If real interview would look at the company values and mission. Lots of pharma focus on those and ask behavioral questions on these. “Describe a time when you recognized someone else's bold idea and helped move it forward.” Good luck. You got this!!

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best).

Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

I had my Tcs TR on 18th oct 2022, in ibegin it's saying evaluation in progress from 19thoct when I was asked to upload al documents, following is the screen of job application, tomorrow it's going to be a month but I'm yet to receive any update from TCS and hr is ignoring, please tell me what should I do, am I rejected/selected/ hold?
