First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Western Health (Australia).
Human Resources Assistant
Had a formal interview on Microsoft Teams with three people on a panel. Had to answer using the STAR method. The questions were pretty standard for the job, covering admin, data, and HR topics.
- Can you share an instance where you encountered a conflict with a stakeholder?
Psychiatry Registrar
I interviewed on one day at the sunshine campus. Two people interviewed me. It was relaxed but formal. I applied through PMCV and their careers hub.
- What is your motivation for pursuing psychiatry?
- Why are you interested in Western?
- Can you provide an example of a situation where you had to escalate an issue?
Project Manager
I applied via a recruiter who told me to prep STAR answers for some questions they sent over, which is pretty standard. They also let me know who would be on the panel for the Teams interview. But when I showed up, the panel was a totally different group of people. The interview was basically the panel firing generic questions at me for 45 minutes, and they weren't related to the job description or the questions the recruiter gave me beforehand. Most questions weren't really answerable in a STAR format. I've never been in an interview where the panel didn't smile or talk back to me at all. It really put me off and made me think it would be a weird place to work.
- How do you handle stress?
- Tell me about a project you really enjoyed delivering and why.
Pharmacy Technician
The way the interview goes can differ a bit based on the company and the specific job, but generally, you'll start with a quick chat to see if you're a good fit, then move on to a few more rounds. These might involve some tests on your skills, questions about how you've handled things before, and sometimes you might have to do a case study or give a presentation. It's really a way for both the place hiring and you to figure out if it's a good match and if you've got the right stuff.
- What's your approach if a patient contacts you about their prescribed medication and has inquiries concerning dosage or other aspects?
- If a patient calls seeking information about their prescription, including details like dosage, how would you manage that interaction?
