First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Medical University of South Carolina.
Grant Administrator
The hiring process took a while, with three interview rounds in total. The first two rounds were fine and had standard behavioral questions. The first round was a panel with supervisors, the second was a panel with peers, and the third round was with the department head. This third interview was really harsh and disrespectful. It felt like the interviewer had already decided before I even started talking. I didn't get an offer, which I'm not surprised about given how the interview went. Honestly, I wouldn't want to work for someone who acts like that anyway.
- If you were hiring for this role, what qualities would you seek in a candidate?
Research Specialist
I've applied and interviewed for a bunch of these jobs. They all take a really long time to get back to you. For one job, it took 4 months for them to even reach out for the first interview, and I still have applications in my portal from over a year ago that I haven't heard back about. The interviews themselves have been okay, but don't count on them getting back to you or letting you know if you got the job.
- Why do you think you are a good fit for this role?
Therapist
It was an in-person interview with two people. They asked flexible questions and we chatted about my resume. I didn't get to see the rest of the facility or meet other team members. The interview was about 30 minutes long and there were about five prompts. It was pretty self-directed, allowing me to freely talk about my strengths and challenges.
- Can you tell me about your past experience?
Registered Nurse
I applied for the nurse residency program at Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital. The experience was okay, not amazing but not bad either. It took about 4 weeks to get a response about an interview. All the interviews were done over Zoom. They only asked nursing situational questions. For example, "tell me about a time that you had a conflict in the workplace." It was hard to seem personable through this process.
- Describe a situation where you encountered workplace conflict and how you handled it.
- Can you share an instance of a communication barrier you faced and how you resolved it?
