USF Health Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process involved several stages. It began with a virtual interview, lasting about 30 minutes, with a panel of three staff members who were quite friendly. The second interview was initially planned to be in-person at the USF Morsani College of Medicine Campus, but it was cancelled last minute and moved to a virtual format. This second virtual interview was similar to the first, but with an additional department head joining the panel, making it four interviewers. They then rescheduled the in-person campus visit for a third interview. This time, the appointment was kept, and I spent an hour touring the campus followed by another hour interviewing with a panel of five staff members in person. Despite feeling all three interviews went well and being told I'd hear back within a week, I didn't receive any communication. After two weeks, I followed up to inquire about my status, but received no response. A month later, I reached out again for feedback, but was again ignored. This lack of communication and respect after multiple interviews and a campus visit is disappointing, especially since the staff seemed pleasant and I thought I performed well. It seems friendliness doesn't always equate to respect.

So first you gotta submit your application on the USF Health portal, which means uploading your resume, cover letter, and answering some questions. Then, the hiring manager and HR look at it. If you seem like a good fit, they'll probably give you a call or video interview, lasts like 30-60 mins, mostly to see if you're a good match. After that, if you did well, they might give you a technical test to check your skills. If you ace that, you'll go to an on-site interview at USF Health. This will be a few interviews with different people like the hiring manager, project managers, and others. You might have to do a presentation or a case study too. If they like you after all that, they'll check your references and do a background check. Finally, if everything checks out, you get the job offer with all the details like salary and start date.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. It seemed like if you were pleasant and presented yourself well, you'd likely get the job. They focused on questions about your previous jobs, and thankfully, they didn't ask any of those rigid, formulaic interview questions. My future boss, Liz, conducted the interview. She's a very laid-back person and appreciates it when her employees are similar – while still being hard workers.

They made me feel really comfortable and welcomed me. The interviewers were very professional. They asked me about my projects and then I had a 2-person panel interview. The interview lasted about an hour. They went deep into my past projects and then asked me some scenario-based questions.
