First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at UMC Health System.
Manager
The interview process was efficient, effective, and informative, giving me a chance to learn about the department and company as much as they learned about me. I met with members of the team, which provided multiple perspectives to my questions.
- Can you share an example of teamwork from your past experiences?
Registered Nurse
About a week and a half after applying online, a nurse recruiter gave me a call. They asked some basic questions and then scheduled a phone interview. When I got there, I met with HR to discuss pay and benefits, which took about 20-30 minutes. Afterwards, she led me to the unit I was interested in. First, I interviewed with the department directors. They described their department and asked me a few basic questions about my past experience and why I was interested in the position. They also gave me an order for a drug screen that I had to complete at a clinic within 24 hours. This part wasn't difficult or stressful at all. After that, I had a peer interview with the staff nurses. There were four nurses, including the charge nurse, who interviewed me. This part was a bit more challenging. Even though I prepared as much as I could and the nurses were nice, I found this part the hardest. I'm not great at thinking on my feet, so some questions were tough. I also don't have a lot of nursing experience, so the scenario questions were more difficult. Each nurse took turns asking questions from a list, covering topics like teamwork, communication, and safety. I really recommend preparing thoroughly.
- How would you advocate for our company if we hired you?
- Have you ever worked with someone you had disagreements with at your previous job?
- Describe a conflict you had with a coworker or supervisor and how you resolved it.
Health Unit Coordinator
The interview process was 30 minutes long and involved three people in similar roles: a Health Unit Coordinator (HUC) and a patient transporter. All questions were situational and behavioral, with no technical questions. They wanted to see how I'd handle real-life situations. The interviewers were nice, and we had a good conversation, but the vibe was a little distant. After asking questions, they went over the job duties and what's needed before starting. They said a decision would be made in 24-48 hours, but I had to check my application status myself because I didn't hear back.
- Can you describe a situation where you had a conflict with a coworker and how you handled it?
Graphic Designer
I interviewed twice in person. First, I had a team interview, and then I met with management. The interviews were pretty chill and felt like normal conversations but still professional. On the second interview, I got to see the place and meet the rest of the team. The only thing was, I wasn't really sure how long the whole process would take, and it felt like it dragged on. I had to chase them for updates after waiting for weeks, and then they told me the job wasn't available anymore.
