The main areas that are most likely to be covered in a Clinical Research interview are as follows:

• Interpersonal skills:
  • You may be asked to give examples of when you have worked in a team.
  • You may also be asked to give examples of when you have engaged in conflict resolution and when this has lead to a positive outcome.
• Time management skills:  Clinical Research work is often driven by time frames and deadlines, therefore it is important that you demonstrate in your interview that you are competent in time management in the workplace.
• GCP experience: It is likely that you will be asked about your experience and knowledge of GCP and how this has impacted on your work on a day-to-day basis.
