It was a standard Q&A style interview. I met with the manager and supervisor, who were both really friendly and easy to talk to. To get ready, I brushed up on my interview skills and thought about how to talk about my past experiences and what I could contribute to the role.

The interview process was pretty straightforward, but each step took quite a bit of time. First, I received a screening email from a recruiter. Then the nurse manager called to set up an interview. After that, there was a skillsurvey reference check from five references, and finally, a job offer was extended.

The first interview round was really short. They told us we had to answer questions in under a minute, which felt discouraging. I don't get how a recruiter can assess someone in just 3 minutes to decide if they should move on. Some people I know got moved to a second round but then never heard back from the management team.
