First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Western University of Health Sciences.
Coordinator
They need to stop doing panel interviews here because some of the people on the panel look like they either don't want to be there or they want to sleep. When I was here there were about 7 other people, and instead of them having the common courtesy to pay attention to the answers THEY ASKED FOR, they sat there glancing at each other and smirking. It was so rude. That's why I hate panel interviews because some of the participants lack basic communication etiquette: if you're going to sit there rolling your eyes or you're getting the urge to take an afternoon catnap, DON'T ASK FOR DETAILED ANSWERS. On top of that, at the conclusion of the interview, I'd barely turned my back for a second to exit when all of the sudden they started talking about me. I was disgusted.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Optometrist
They were super helpful from the get-go. The interview process wasn't complicated. I got an email with the names of the people I'd be meeting before the interview, which gave me time to prep. The work culture seemed really cohesive, and everyone was incredibly generous with their time and their attitude.
