Difficult interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GSK (Ware, England) in Mar 2016

Interview

In the morning I had a short chat with a current Industrial Placement student, who was really friendly which helped to ease nerves. This was followed by a tour of labs at the Ware site. I had a short laboratory assessment with the current IP student (pipetting and solution making) then was taken in for a (approx.) 45min technical and competency based interview. The whole experience took 2 hours in total.
