Research manager Interview Questions

I am working on six masters degree right now in my field as project manager and I have 3 years experience working in the construction industry.

I am looking for professional growth and at a higher position.

I just remember thinking, WTF kinda question is this? Shouldn't you be more interested in failures that I actually managed to recover from?

Rolled my eyes and said "suck it up and just get a paycheck"

My answer was always about how much I loved interacting with the group. My love for research methods and statistics. And how I felt that building assessments for me has an altruistic element that drives me. Assessments, of all kinds, help people in various ways. I like the feeling of making a contribution to the betterment of the way things are done.

Discussed the basis for my thesis.
