About your past
Tell me about a time you won over a key opinion leader at an academic medical center.

You coordinate with regional directors, specialists and genomic liaisons. Tell me about a deal where you had to pull several internal people in.

Tell me about a quarter where you missed your number. What happened and what did you change?

What would you do
Southern New Jersey has large cancer centers and busy community practices. How would you decide where to spend your first month?

An oncologist says she worries testing will delay treatment decisions for her patients. How do you respond?
