Hi Sally, I think I would ask if they were familiar with the terms bovine, porcine, ovine, caprine, equine, ect. Then ask if they would process bovine tissue differently than mouse tissues. Ask what kind of problems they might expect to encounter doing IHC and immunofluorescence on animal tissue. If you handle legal cases, ask questions about tissue identity and chain of evidence. Ask questions on lab safety and chemical waste disposal. Good luck, Tom Truscott

I've not been this "fortunate" before and I do know there are questions one cannot ask so that's not an issue. What I'd like to know is what I SHOULD ask. This position is fairly straightforward - basic veterinary histology with nothing significantly challenging (but with that potential). What would YOU want to know about a candidate that would convince you that this person was The One? I need questions with "meat" to them. Your suggestions will be much-ly appreciated. Gracias!
