Interview tips and questions

Post by Shyni »

Hi all
Just wondering if you could give me an idea about the interview questions for a Science Laboratory assistant position in Schools? Do they ask questions related to the selection criteria or any scenario type questions?

Thanks

from memory my interview questions were along the lines of
* what can you bring to the school
* what skills / experience
* explain a time you have had a conflict situation and what did you do?
* a scenario question....

Things like why you want to work at that school, what system are you familiar with regarding prac ordering, what are your strengths in working in a team. Be aware of current labelling requirements. SDSs, chemical registers, risk assessments. What to do if there was a chemical spill. I've always been asked how I would deal with a teacher who consistently orders pracs late. Prioritising work is an important aspect of our job too. Examples of when you have had to work on your own.
