Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
The shift runs 3:00 AM to 11:45 AM. What have you done before that tells me you can be precise at that hour?
What they are checking: Whether they have a track record with early or odd hours, since fatigue leads to dosing errors.
Tell me about a time you had to learn a new technique quickly. How did you make sure you were doing it right?
What they are checking: Whether they learn by asking, practicing and checking, rather than guessing to look capable.
Tell me about a time you worked on a team where someone depended on you finishing first.
What they are checking: Whether they understand that dosing teams wait on their formulations and delays ripple through the day.
What would you do
You notice the test article lot number on the container does not match the one in the protocol. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they stop and confirm before using material, since the wrong lot can invalidate a study.
A formulation looks cloudy when the protocol says it should be a clear solution. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they notice when something looks wrong and escalate instead of dosing anyway.
About the work
If a protocol calls for 50 milliliters of a 10 milligram per milliliter formulation, how much test article do you weigh, and what else would you account for?
What they are checking: Whether they can do dose math and think about purity or salt correction factors before weighing.
How would you make capsules per a study protocol so every one has the right amount of test material?
What they are checking: Whether they think about uniformity and verification, not just filling capsules quickly.
Why might a formulation need to be sampled and sent for concentration analysis after you make it?
What they are checking: Whether they understand that dose verification proves animals actually got what the protocol says.
How do you correct a mistake on a written lab record the right way?
What they are checking: Whether they know GLP record rules like single-line strikeouts with initials, date and reason.
How do you keep your work area clean to avoid cross-contaminating one test article with another?
What they are checking: Whether they understand that residue from one compound can ruin another study's results.
