I've been unemployed for a year. I've applied to numerous Syneos openings, but this is the first time I've gotten something besides a canned rejection. This position is in my favorite therapeutic area so I'm very excited, though being long-term out of the industry I'm also trying not to put the cart before the horse. I received an email overnight asking me about 20 clarifying questions, about half of which are plainly answered on my resume (ie: systems I have worked on, phases I have worked on, etc.) which I will of course answer, but it just seemed very weird. Is this common? Any pointers I should know about as I go through the process? Thanks!
