I went to the hospital and filled out an application online and gave them my resume and references. They called me back within 2 weeks for an interview and then offered me the job the next week. I had to buy scrub uniforms and take the required orientation. I trained with another person for about a month, depending on how comfortable I was. I got paid every two weeks, and had benefits and paid time off. I got time and a half on holidays. Teamwork is always important.

For the first interview I met with the department head, and for the second interview I met with a panel of 4 other managers. They took turns asking questions that the department head asked during the first round of interviews. We then had a brief discussion of my current role in the organization.

First, I had a routine HR interview that was more about my background. Then, the supervisor for the position interviewed me in her office. It wasn't too formal or hard. This second interview was about 15-20 minutes long. After that, they gave me a quick tour of the lab, and that was it.
