Which laboratory techniques are you familiar with?
"In my clinical research training, I became most familiar with three types of laboratory techniques including Cell Fractionation, DNA Extraction, and RNA Extraction. I am excited to continue to expand my knowledge of new techniques."
"I have used a wide range of techniques in my twelve years as a clinical researcher. I am an expert in A, B, and C techniques and an advanced level in X, Y, Z. I see that these six techniques are the most often practiced in your lab. Are there any other experiences you would like to know about?"
The best thing to do is to recite the laboratory techniques that are listed on your resume and tell the interviewer which laboratory techniques you are most familiar and comfortable with, out of that list.
"In my previous position I spent the majority of my time running chemical tests, anterograde tracing and boom method. Those are the techniques I am most familiar with, but I have used many others. Which techniques would be of primary focus in this position?"
