A lot of technical questions (I interviewed for a chromatography position): how does the instrument work (HPLC); what kind of detectors there are and how they work; how do you prepare for an analysis; what kind of troubleshooting do I know; difference between accuracy and precision; what are the steps of method validation; how to use a pipette (step by step in details). Questions about how I organise my day and my work; how would I act in a stressful situation or conflict with other people; what motivates me; what are my weaknesses/best aptitudes.
