They started off asking my background, experience, what classes I've taken, and jumped right into technical questions, and which caught me off guard in just 15 minutes of phone call.

The process began with an initial phone screening that was very professional and well-organized. The recruiter focused heavily on my past research experience and technical proficiency, specifically asking about my relevant experience working with SAS for data analysis. They seemed interested in how I apply statistical methods to real-world datasets and my familiarity with clinical data standards.
