I applied online. I interviewed at Ascension (Detroit, MI) in June 2017
Interview
After applying for the position online, I was called the next business day to go over content from my application and asked a couple questions. I was later contacted by another individual to set up an in-person interview for the following week. The in-person interview was on the unit and included the hiring manager and a patient care associate, lasting about 30 minutes and ending with a tour of the unit. They used a form with standard interview questions and took turns asking them. I have not received an offer as of yet.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work with patient populations served by this unit?
Teams meeting with hiring manager and recruiter. Open ended questions and lots of back and forth open discussion. Very low maintenance, welcoming environment that allowed for thoughtful answers and time to have open dialogue
super easy, good flow, not so tough questions. They were very supportive during the interview process. Just type up and reherse your lines of why choosing the field/department/specialty and your good traits.
The nurse manager who interviewed me was friendly and made the process less stressful. I was worried about the process, but it was not bad. She asked questions about my background and experience and explained the job to me.
