First Cna interview

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I had my first CNA job interview yesterday and I think I did pretty good. I was so glad that I took the time to prepare myself by googling the type of questions that they may ask. Boy did they have a lot of questions lol. The only question that had me stumped was what was my least favorite part of my CNA class, I honestly couldn't think of anything!! Nothing about the class bothered me, idk if that was a good or bad thing. They will be making calls Monday to those who got the job, I am hoping and praying for the best.

Well I take my exam next week but I I finished my training the 30th of April but I didn't state I wasn't certified yet on my resume. And on some jobs I was honest in the cover letter by telling them I was soon taking the exam and neither have yet worked for me. I've been applying a lot though. I'm in NY. I don't have any experience but baby sitting which is what I've done these last two years on and off besides that everything else was retail and customer service. I did not want to include that. Maybe I should.

Ive heard a lot of people mention that applying in person is better.

Yea I have heard that if you apply in person to dress like your going to work with your scrubs on and hair pulled back. I finished my class in March and became certified the 19th of April, so it took about a month to land my first interview and like you I have no experience I actually work at a laundromat right now. I was also told to try Craigslist believe it or not they have a lot of cna job postings. Home health care and assisted living facilities could be a little easier to get into also.

Yea I've tried craigslist but it's mostly agencies looking for experienced. I'm gonna do walk ins after I take my exam hopefully I pass! I thought I should go dressed in scrubs but my teacher said to go dressed in slacks and a dress shirt.

You should fill the app out anyway for the ones that say experience only...I read somewhere on here that some places just put that in case a residents family or a potential resident sees it.

First off congratulations! No more laundromat work!! Very happy for you.

And yes I've read that somewhere too. I just can't wait to take my exam and be certify for sure and feel confident enough to apply. Ugh I'm so nervous. I feel like I am over thinking things and over studying. I can't wait for weds to come already and get it over with!!

How soon did you get your results?
