Research Coordinator Interview


I have my first research coordinator interview next week. Besides the basic every-job questions and general observations, I was wondering what specific questions/things to look for in a research job/site. Are there any clinical research red flags or good signs I should be on the look out for?

Thanks for any help!

Hi!
I am curious about your interview...what kind of questions did they ask? Did you get the job, or even want it post-interview? I too am considering leaving the floor for something a bit less stressful! Thanks!

Ask about the Institutional Review Board. If you become a research nurse, it will be a part of your life.

I declined the second interview requirement as it was with the CEO's "husband" who is not affiliated with the Company in anyway. I couldnt understand an interviewer who isnt confident in her own decision of who to hire and leaves the final decision to her husband who she tells me is a "salesman" in a non related non medical business!! Think it was a big red flag to me lol. Ironically Covance rep called me due to an opening that has come up the same week and I interviewed with them way back in June but didnt have my ACLS then (let it lapse long time ago). Didnt think I'd hear from them again but surprise so maybe someone was looking out for me up there so to speak as its 5 months down the road. I had previously done the phone then the face to face interview. They said I didnt have to interview again just come in for a quick discussion and go from there. So hopefully that will pan out. They used "behaviorial" questions of which I tried to prepare for. I used http://www.quintcareers.com/sample_behavioral.html to help me and the questions asked were pretty much on target. Lot tougher than asking "tell me about yourself" or "where do you want to be in 5 years" lol.
