This is really helpful! Thanks. During my several interviews I was also asked these questions:
1. What are your strong and weak points?
2. Can you work in a team? How will you resolve a conflict in a team?
3. Can you work on a project from scratch? Give an example.
4. Tell me about 1-2 projects of yours that you found most interesting. What was your contribution?
5. How did you guide/supervise students? How much was your contribution?
6. How postdoc is different from a graduate student? What role do you think a postdoc plays?
7. Have you ever failed and how did you recover? What about negative results?
8. What do you do if a project does not work?
9. Do you have any annoying qualities? What annoyed you in others?

Dr. Jay Singh, what a great service you're offering here! I was invited for an interview last week. Before then, I completely had no idea what type of questions are asked at postdoc interviews, until I tumbled into your work during my youtube search for help. Believe me, I practiced like mad, following every nuanced tip you give. You guessed right! I aced it!!! Got the position! Thank you! I'll proudly recommend your videos:)

Thanks for the tips.
Do I need to talk about the specific project goals which I am going to pursue in my lab after postdoc? Is it okay to give the general area of my future work and explain how the techniques I learn from postdoc would help me in that work?
