Hi,
So I think I got a intern with sip. However, she says that she wants to talk over Skype in a week about what research she’s doing and what I would be doing in the lab. We’ve already agreed on the dates and times so is this interview basically a formality?
Thanks
Hard to say without more information, but if you’ve already accepted the position and have a start date, this doesn’t sound like an “interview” at all, more just an introduction to get to know eachother. What makes you call it an interview?
Idk, I just assumed that since we’ve never discussed what I’ll be doing over email
That’s not uncommon for research internships. Before hiring. the PI usually just wants to see that you’re a qualified candidate and that your interests align with their research area. The details of your exact project usually come later after the intern has been hired on.
