University of California Berkeley Research Analyst interview experience

It started with the usual opening question about why I wanted to work there, but then it quickly got practical. They asked about my schedule and whether I was available for the hours they needed.

After confirming I could fit the timing, the interviewer picked one work experience from my resume and questioned me about it. That’s the part that felt most like a check on whether my past experience actually translated to the day-to-day expectations. Even though it was still relatively simple, the structure was clear: motivation, availability, then a targeted deep dive into my background.
