It was a really simple interview process with nice people. They didn't ask super hard questions, and I never felt pressured or put down. HR called first, then I had an interview, and they handled things from there. It was a fast process.

The interview was about 30 minutes long and the people were friendly and nice. I received an onboarding email 3 days after the interview. I did get an offer from another hospital though. I would consider working at Mount Sinai Hospital in the future if I had the chance.

Behavioral Group Presentation

I applied directly on their website and heard back for an interview within a week. I was hired the following week. The interview process involved three stages, all on the same day: first, an HR interview, then a panel interview with managers, and finally, a panel interview at the actual doctor's office. The whole experience was really professional, organized, and efficient, with everyone being positive and welcoming. You don't need a medical background for this job. Knowing Spanish is a plus but not a requirement. Plan to be there for a few hours; parking will be validated.

Confirmed questions5 questions
  • How would you deal with irate patients?
  • This job is mainly customer service and requires a lot of empathy, based on past jobs explain why you are qualified.
  • If the doctors are running behind schedule are you willing to stay after 5pm?

The HR person called me yesterday for a quick phone chat and then set me up for an in-person interview the next day. I met with her this morning at 8:45 am, and she went over my resume for about 10 minutes. After that, she referred me to interview with the nursing director. I then interviewed with a nursing director and a team leader. They were all very professional, kind, and humble! Everyone there was really friendly, which made me feel super comfortable. The whole interview felt formal, and the questions were about hospital scenarios. This part took 30 minutes. Later that day, at 4:30 pm, HR called with congratulations!

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Tell me about a really tough task you faced and how you managed to solve it.
  • How would you handle a situation where you have two patients who are both in pain?
