home health interview

[sistasoul]

Hi all,

I have an interview in 3 days time for a 3 day a week home health position. I have 5 years of experience of working on medical surgical units and rehab. I have also worked for a year in an internal medicine office.

Does anyone have any tips for acing the interview? How about questions I should ask? I get so nervous during interviews that I do not make a good impression and usually do not get the position. I have terrible social phobia as well as generalized anxiety which medications did not help and counseling (talking) can only do so much.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Questions..

pay structure, productivity expectations, how many visits, territories, work from home as an option, flex or 8-5, delineated teams or mish mash with no rhyme or reason. (Worded diplomatically)
