STEM is a broad area, but some interview topics will come up time and time again, regardless of your field, so make sure you have answers ready to go.
There are far more STEM careers than are possible to list here, in areas such as pharmaceuticals, medtech, finance, science, research, quantum, cybersecurity and so on, all of which come with unique requirements, expectations and opportunities.
That is to say that STEM is such a broad field you wouldn’t be blamed for assuming that, when it comes to interviewing for a position, there is very little overlap from one role or discipline to the next. But that is not the case.
In fact, regardless of the chosen route within STEM, often – by developing a broad knowledge foundation and having a ‘standard’ set of answers ready to mould as needs be – you ensure that you are significantly prepared. So, what kinds of broad interview questions should you think about in order to cover a range of STEM disciplines?
Who are you?
