J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Agency for Science, Technology and Research (Singapour) en nov. 2012
Entretien
I had finished submitting my PhD thesis at a Singapore university and was looking for jobs. I saw an opening at a A*Star institute on their website and sent an email with the necessary details and documents.
I had a interview-meeting with the Principal Investigator (PI) who had that opening. The opening was specific to the short-term project that the PI was starting. PI asked me a few questions about my PhD thesis topic, my interests and my skills. I asked a few questions to learn more about the project.
After this there was a formal interview a couple of weeks later. There were the PI I first met, another PI and one HR person. More questions about my earlier academic and work experience. And the typical useless textbook HR questions.

Question 1
Nothing difficult. It was all about my skills and my PhD topic.

Interview process was brief, one interviewer did not attend. Had to give a sample project presentation (a live demo). It was just Q&A, about myself, my background, how I found the position.

Received an email for the interview within a week and the interview was scheduled for the next day. The process was comfortable overall. Panel interview followed by HR call for the whole process.
