First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at MaineGeneral Health.
Financial Analyst
The first interview was with the hiring manager and another manager. Then, there was a second interview with a group of peers. They asked questions that were given to them directly from Human Resources. Most of them were basic questions, like how to handle a difficult time working with a co-worker, or how you work with a team.
- Can you share an instance where you experienced a conflict with a coworker or supervisor, and describe how you managed that situation?
- Could you describe your approach to teamwork and collaboration?
Patient Service Representative
I rated this as difficult primarily because the process took a long time. The office needed to fill a position right away, and even though we tried to move quickly, it was still a month from my first interview to when I started. It began with a quick phone screening, which led to a one-on-one interview with a Lead PSR. After those initial interviews, I had a panel interview with three people from different departments, which they called a Peer Interview. The second and third interviews were quite long, and they really wanted detailed, well-thought-out examples from my past work. Everyone I interviewed with was nice and respectful. The questions and general feel of the interviews are pretty standard for a patient service role. Since you'll be interacting with the public in a medical setting, they want to know if you can be empathetic, polite, and professional while also protecting patient information. Be prepared to share stories about dealing with difficult people and how you defused a situation to get a good result. These kinds of situations are really common in healthcare, and it was clear they were looking for someone who could handle them well.
- Can you share an instance where you assisted a patient, but the desired outcome wasn't achieved?
- Tell me about how you would manage assisting a patient while ensuring their information is kept private, all while being empathetic, polite, and professional.
- Describe a situation where you dealt with a challenging individual and successfully de-escalated it for a positive resolution.
Registered Nurse
The first interview was with the unit manager, and it was pretty fast and simple to schedule. If they think you're a really good fit, you'll probably have at least one more interview with some of your potential coworkers, like 2 to 4 of them. For my peer interview, I met with 2 charge nurses, but they weren't the ones I'd actually be working with. These peer interviewers have a list of questions they ask everyone. They mostly want to know about teamwork, how you handle customers, your worst customer interactions, and how you dealt with tough situations.
- Tell me about a time you had to work as part of a team.
- Can you describe your customer service skills?
- What was your most challenging customer experience and how did you manage it?
Project Manager
It was a very straightforward process with lots of relevant questions and information, very transparent. There were 4 rounds of interviews with different departments, including peer interviews. Scheduling was timely and communication was great. The interview team was well-prepared.
- Can you tell me about your experience as a project manager?
- What project management styles are you familiar with?
- What size projects have you managed?
