Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 2 días. Acudí a una entrevista en UCLA (Los Angeles, CA) en may 2011
Entrevista
Grueling: two interviews with 3-5 psychologists or doctors each time. Some of them were very nice and the interview questions were appropriate and thoughtful. Others were disrespectful and rude. Overall, it left a very distasteful feeling for me. I did get called back for a second interview, but never went for the background check because I decided I didn't want to work for a hunch of pretentious people lacking compassion. Ironically, they told me I was the runner up for the position.

Many, many questions. One question was why I had about a four month gap in work history. I answered the question honestly- that I had lost a pregnancy in my second trimester and needed time to recover. Interviewer did not like that answer. Also, they expected me to work long hours and required a master's, but then seemed put off that I didn't want a PhD.
El profesor y yo hicimos un contrato temporal de trabajo ya nos conociamos de congresos y compartimos el mismo tema de investigacion por lo que fue facil conseguir la entrevista

Entrevista
One Zoom meeting talking through a prior experience working in a lab setting. Interviews vary significantly depending on what the lab is looking for. You can apply through emailing labs directly, or sometimes they post openings on the undergrad research page.
It went quite well overall, though it wasn't without its challenges. The process required considerable effort and perseverance, but the experience was incredibly rewarding. Each obstacle provided valuable lessons, and in the end, it felt fulfilling to have overcome the difficulties and gained new insights and skills.
