Behavioral

it was rigourous and hard, they were very strict about what they wanted and the process was very long as well, however it was easier when i started talking to the person that was in charge which made it a lot easier.

Behavioral Presentation

It was a typical government Performance Based Interview. They asked "Tell me about a time when…" questions. You needed to be very specific in your answers. I interviewed with the managers first, and then a panel of nurses I would be working with.

Case Behavioral

The interview process involved a scenario-based assessment with case studies, focusing on interventions and outcomes. There were also ethical and collaboration questions. It seems like a few rounds, maybe starting with a recruiter call, then a technical screen, and finishing with an onsite interview.

  • Tell me about customer service situations you face at work.
