Questions you could be asked
- Tell me about a project where mathematical modeling was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where pharmacokinetics was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where ordinary differential equations was part of your work. What did you do?
- Tell me about a project where data analysis was part of your work. What did you do?
- Walk me through how you've used MATLAB in your day-to-day work.
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: Mathematical Modeling, Pharmacokinetics, Ordinary Differential Equations, Data Analysis, and MATLAB. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
