I applied online for different units and about a month later, I got a call back for an interview for the medicine unit at the general site. The interview was scheduled for 10:15 AM via Microsoft Teams with the manager and the CPL. I logged in at 10:00 AM, but the CPL joined at 10:16 AM, and the manager was about 10-15 minutes late because they were supposedly in another meeting. The CPL mostly discussed the role and unit details. Then the manager took over, asking about my experience and giving scenario-based questions. When asked why I wanted to work on this unit instead of the one where I did my consolidation, I explained that while I learned a lot, it wasn't the best fit for my future goals. This seemed to displease the manager, and the interview took a negative turn with a condescending tone, and he implied my assessment skills were poor, frequently interrupting me. The CPL remained mostly silent. Around halfway through, I realized I wouldn't want to work in an unsupportive environment with a manager like that. They also mentioned a patient load of 6-7 with no PSW support. The CPL, who was nice initially, turned off her camera about 8 minutes before the end without any explanation or goodbye. It was a very bad experience, and I knew I wouldn't get the job.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a panel interview where questions were alternated, and there was also an open part where you could ask any questions. It's a good idea to have a question ready to show you're interested or to make them think.
