I applied online. I interviewed at Charles River Laboratories (Ballina, Mayo) in Apr 2026
Interview
It was a smooth interview: first HR round, the next day technical interview, each 30 min. The HR round was just a personal intro and a discussion of qualifications & suitability. The technical round started again with qualifications and a few questions regarding GMP lab and instrument handling. After a week, I received an email saying they are not offering because they want people with recent experience in handling specific instrument software.
