Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto più di 3 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso BD (Franklin Lakes, NJ)
Colloquio
Applied online in Fall 2011. Invited to a phone interview winter 2011. Phone interview was a teleconference with 4-5 R&D scientists. Invited onsite for final round interviews in spring 2012. 9 candidates were brought in to interview, but we later found out that only 1-2 would be hired. Candidates not selected for TLDP were given the option to apply for other jobs within BD, however majority of the jobs were not appropriate for PhD level candidates. There was one internal candidate who appeared to be given special attention during the interview process. Overall, the process was very time-consuming and grueling and felt very impersonal.

Colloquio
It was a very organized, full day ordeal at the headquarters in NJ. The interviewers were a group of 8 employees from various business divisions of BD. Other interviewees were also there for the day and there were several current TLD program members hosting and interacting with the interviewees throughout the day.

Colloquio
First round interview was done over Skype. I was asked to prepare a 5 slide presentation on my research experience. There were two people conducting the interview. One of which was a current TLDP candidate. The second round interviews were held in Franklin Lakes, NJ at BD headquarters. This interview consisted of 7 individual interviews each lasting 45mins with 15min breaks in between. The people conducting the interviews were from different divisions and locations within BD. The interview style varied based on the person conducting the interview. It ranged from very casual discussion of my research to intense questions about my ability to lead.
