It took about 3 months from start to finish. First, I had a one-on-one with the manager. Then, I met with the team. Finally, there was a 4.5-hour interview with the entire pharmacy department. I haven't heard back since the last interview. During that final interview, some department staff seemed really uninterested and like they had other priorities. It was pretty discouraging. Considering the time spent, not even getting a rejection email feels disrespectful. I wouldn't advise others to waste their time here.

I applied online and then a recruiter reached out. I had a screening interview with the recruiter, then a few days later I had an interview with the nurse manager. It was about a 20 minute interview. The recruiter let me know I got the offer within 3 days.

I talked to three people, and they were all really nice. They asked a bunch of questions, and it felt pretty casual, but they were definitely looking out for any fake stuff. So, don't lie on your resume, and make sure you really know what you're doing and the technical terms and stuff you use every day.

The recruiter had told me that my application would be put forward for more consideration, but it never was. This was discouraging since I feel I'm overqualified for the role given my qualifications, experience, and certification. I thought I would get fair consideration, but the lack of follow-up made me feel unnoticed even though I met and exceeded the requirements. Good communication and follow-through are important for representing a company. I'm still interested in jobs at [Company Name] and hope my experience is taken seriously and that things can be improved so other candidates are treated fairly and with respect.
