This was the worst interview experience. It was a panel interview with 3 managers. They didn't seem interested from the start. They called me to schedule the interview because they reviewed my resume, but when I arrived, they kept commenting on my lack of experience in the specialty. It felt like they hadn't actually looked at my resume and just wasted my time. They also kept emphasizing that the job location was 'far,' even though it wasn't. From what I've seen in other comments, I'm not the only one who had a bad experience with UCI Health Administration.

I had a phone prescreening before the main interview, which was over Zoom. The first call felt like a soft interview, and then I was offered a Zoom interview. The interviewer was very nice and welcoming.
