I recently found two very effective interview questions perfect for technology transfer jobs. They are variations of ones you may have used in your own interviewing. However, the reason I love them is their application in tech transfer.
Tech transfer is about building relationships. Soft skills matter. When you’re interviewing candidates you need to assess not only their soft skills but also their analytical ones. There’s a lot of problem solving required in technology transfer jobs. (But the analytical side is a post for another day).
Two Great Interview Questions and What Makes Them So
This question sounds a lot like the much anticipated, “What are your strengths/weaknesses?” but it asks them to interpret how others (most importantly their supervisor) see them. This gives the candidate a chance to speak more openly about their strengths because they’re not doing the bragging their “supervisor” is.
You’d also be surprised how many people will open up about lackluster supervisory relationships and what they’ve been told to improve upon. This provides good insight into how’d they’d be as an employee.
