The pay is good and it's remote. But I know fuck-all about being a research assistant. Any of you guys worked on that position before? What is it all about?

they wouldn't book an interview unless they thought you might be able to do the job

Yo OP, I'm a lab tech in biology, probably a sort of similar job to what you're after. Your first 3-5 interviews will be rough, interviewing is a skill and you'll get better at it. With any luck, they'll like you and you'll hear back, but don't count on it. Getting in the mindset that this is just another one of a million people you're talking to will make you way less nervous. Maybe take a couple shots 20-30 minutes beforehand if you're really nervous.

Also, they love to ask the question, "tell me about a time in the lab where something didn't go right, and how did you work to fix it" or something. Most annoying question IMO. They also like to ask about times you were in a group and how you resolved a dispute in the group. I guarantee you they'll ask at least one of these.

Anyway good luck OP.

Also keep applying to jobs, see if you can't get another interview on Friday. Seriously, not serial applying and not doing multiple interviews in the same day is a waste of time. You'll be waiting to hear back instead of applying to more jobs. YOu're human garbage to your average hiring manager, treat them the same as they treat you.
