Scientist Interview Questions

"The questions you are asked in an interview for a position as a scientist will depend greatly on field of science you intend to work in. Generally, interviewers will be interested in your formal education, field of study and specialization, work, internship, and research experience, scientific writing skills, and interest in the subject matter. Expect to be asked technical questions that pertain to the knowledge needed to perform the duties of the job. While there are some positions open to scientists who possess associates' or bachelors' degrees, most jobs will require you to have at least a masters' degree with the majority requiring you to have a doctorate."

Coding test: spreadsheet calculator. First phone technical interview: find the top k elements in an array; probability question: you have two options: one is to shoot a ball one time and would be counted as success if you make it, the other is to shoot 3 times and would be counted as success if make at least two. Which one should you choose? 2nd technical phone interview: find the first node where two link lists meet; I forgot the second question.
