The interview had several people present, and they asked typical questions such as why I want to work at Children's and why that specific unit. It wasn't too difficult, and the interviewers were quite friendly, allowing me to ask my own questions.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview felt pretty laid-back and friendly, but they covered all the bases. They asked a bunch of questions about my past work and my schooling. There were six people there, and they each asked questions one after another. Then, they asked me to ask them questions, which I thought was a pretty big deal.

Behavioral

I got a call in November to set up an interview for early December. The interview was a standard one-on-one over Zoom since no one else from the unit could make it, as I'm in a different state. What I thought was unprofessional was not hearing back even by late January. I'm assuming no offer was made, but it's frustrating to not get even a quick update after they took an hour of my time.
