Behavioral Presentation Group
The interview was a panel interview. I felt like I should have practiced more of my delivery, I got nervous with so many people in the meeting, all virtual and go to know who would be interviewing me beforehand. The interviewers were very professional and nice.

Started with a phone interview, kind of like an HR chat, with the hiring manager. After that, there were virtual interviews with three panelists, focusing on technical skills and my past experience. The last step was an in-person meeting with the director, which was more about behavioral questions.

Behavioral Technical Case Presentation
I found this job online and after a few months, I had an interview over Zoom with three women. They mainly asked me questions about my experience and presented me with some case scenarios. The interview felt pretty intense, almost like an interrogation. They didn't ask me about myself or explain much about the job itself, just launched straight into questions. They weren't very helpful when I asked for clarification and seemed really cold. At one point, I asked for clarification on a tough question, and one interviewer rolled her eyes and asked if I was even listening. If you're interviewing with them, make sure you know specific conditions and surgeries inside out, as I was asked about precautions for particular surgeries and felt judged when I admitted I wasn't sure. It's also a good idea to have a pen and paper handy because their questions can be long and packed with information. I was really looking forward to this interview, but it felt like I didn't stand a chance from the start. They seemed to want someone with a lot more experience than me. Honestly, I don't think I'd take the job even if they offered it because the interview experience was so negative and disappointing. It didn't feel like a positive or supportive place to work.

So the interview was done over zoom/teams because of the pandemic. The manager and APN from the unit interviewed me. They started by asking why I was interested in cancer care, then asked about my qualifications, some common issues with cancer patients, a time I managed conflict, and an infection control question, plus my stance on MAID.
