I met with the state, the program supervisor, and the program director in person. They asked me questions about my public health and leadership experience. They took turns asking and took notes while I answered.

Behavioral Technical

I had two phone interviews with the IT manager for two different analyst positions, and they both seemed to go pretty well. Then I had a second interview with the whole team, which also went well the first time I went through the process. After that, there were several email exchanges. The second time I went through the process, the manager asked for copies of documentation I had written for previous EHR jobs. I sent them over via email the same day, and then I was pretty much ghosted. I didn't even get a rejection notice.

Behavioral Technical

I had a pretty standard phone screening with some general questions, and then a tougher panel interview afterwards. HR is supposed to be making the final call and will be in touch. I haven't heard back after following up though, so maybe they ghosted everyone.

Behavioral Technical Case

I applied in September and got a call in late November to set up an interview. During the call, they gave me more details about the job. When I got to the interview, I first had to write an essay covering my career goals, my interest in public health, and my strengths and weaknesses. Then, I had a panel interview where they asked about my experience and how I'd be a good fit for the role. They mentioned a second interview if I was selected. About a week later, the nurse manager called to schedule it. The second interview was with the district director and was more of a get-to-know-you type, focusing on my personality. I felt good about my knowledge, so it went well, and I was offered the job during that interview.
