Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at PIH Health.
Registered Nurse
New grad interview - we went into an auditorium where there were several tables set up, each with one person interviewing candidates. The interviewers included educators, the director, managers, and charge nurses. They asked questions about prioritization and your thoughts on the population we serve, as well as why you're interested in PIHGSH.
- What are your thoughts on serving this population, given the high incidence of OD cases, the unhoused population, and poly-substance use cases?
- Why PIHGSH?
Registered Nurse
I had a single in-person interview lasting around 30 minutes. It was with the unit's clinical director, assistant clinical director, and educator. They asked typical questions like what are your strengths and weaknesses, and to describe a time when something happened.
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Registered Nurse
The interview process involved basic behavioral/situational questions.
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- What prompted your departure from your previous role?
