Maria's first interview - background

Maria had a telephone interview today with the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca about a position as researcher. The interview was really long, so it was good it was in her native language. Nervous to have a job interview, so long time ago since last time.

Note: Later on, two other top candidates with more exact experience were selected and Maria was not one of them. Hands-on experience of setting up and running HPLC-MS (high pressure liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry) was required.
Though, even if this didn’t generate a job, it was a good start in the job hunting process.
