Penn Medicine Princeton Health Interview Questions
& Process

Applied on Dec 22, 2020. About two weeks after applying, I got an email to do a montage video interview. It takes about 20 minutes, and you can re-record your answers. There were only 4 questions in it. After two weeks went by without hearing back, I emailed the recruiter. A few days to a week later, the recruiter called me for a short phone screening. They asked when I'd be available for a virtual interview on Teams. I had the interview that Friday, and it lasted 20 minutes. They asked me to do a reference check the following Monday. If all goes well, I'll get an offer.

I applied online and got a call from an HR person out of state who was really nice and gave me good info. Then, about two weeks later, I had the interview. It was kinda different than usual. The manager spent a LOT of time with me, told me about the hospital's history, gave me a tour, and both she and some peers interviewed me. The whole thing took about 2.5-3 hours, but it was actually fun. What was really cool is that they kept me updated after the interview, which most places don't. Usually, you just wait around, but they kept me in the loop and were super professional. They offered me the job, and I accepted. Then I got a bunch of emails for references, background checks, and online paperwork. It looked like a lot, but it also means they hire good people. The employee health and HR stuff was smooth too; the doctor, nurse, and HR rep were all really friendly. Overall, it was a really good experience, and I'm excited to start.

I got an email for a hiring event at Princeton healthcare system. I signed up and applied for jobs I thought I’d be good at. The next day, a recruiter called me and told me to set up a phone interview. I booked it for two days later so I could get ready, seeing what other people said in reviews. The phone interview took about 30 minutes. The person interviewing me started by talking about the company’s future plans and asked me what I wanted in a job. She seemed a bit all over the place with her questions and kept saying she was looking at her notes. I could hear a dog barking, and she had to put me on hold for like a minute and a half. After that, she asked about salary. Then, she looked at my resume and asked me some questions. It went okay, but she asked about a time I didn’t work for a bit. I didn’t have a good reason, so I had to admit I didn’t include a job. At the end, she said she’d pass my info to another recruiter and would let me know if I’d get an in-person interview. I got an email two days later saying I didn’t get the job.

I applied online and heard back from HR for a phone screen. After that, the hiring manager called me to set up an in-person interview. They asked typical behavioral and experience questions that you can find anywhere. What caught me off guard was a question at the very end, right when I thought we were done. They asked 'Why should we hire you?', and I answered, but I was already relaxed and thought that part was over. I got the offer 8 business days later.
