Behavioral Presentation

It was pretty chill and straightforward, not too hard. A panel of 6 people, including managers, charge nurses, and staff nurses, interviewed me. It only took about 10 minutes, and I got an offer a couple of days later. They also asked basic questions like asking me to introduce myself.

I applied online and HR got in touch pretty fast to set up an interview. I chose the in-person option because I live nearby, and it happened during a nursing open house where lots of departments were interviewing. I was interviewed by three nurses for about 15-20 minutes. I heard back the next day for a second interview with the nurse recruiter, which was scheduled for the following day. This time, the same three nurses were there, plus the Director of the department. The day after that, I got an offer. The whole thing was way faster than I thought it would be.

They really made it seem like I was a shoe-in for the position, and I was so excited about it because I've worked there before. There were two interviews, and it all felt so friendly. But it turns out they were just being fake. Good thing I didn't put all my hopes on this one job, because I'll be working somewhere else that's likely much better in terms of how they treat people and honesty. It's a shame people still act this way instead of being upfront.
