My First Interview

[Chicklet2]

Hey everyone, I just lined up my first two interviews today. Does anyone have any helpful advice as to what to wear, what questions I should be ready to answer, any questions I should ask the employer or anything else you can think of . Thanks

Dress appropriately! No mini skirts, no tight pants, no low cleavage...I have a skirt / suit jacket outfit that I wear when need be. Make sure you look clean (I know that may sound dumb, but it means a lot!). Um...I wouldn't wear tons of make-up or jewelry either, but that is my personal preference. As for questions to ask, I would inquire about orientation, benefits, insurance, mandatory overtime, holiday-weekend work, staffing ratios, etc. I hope this helps a little!

Good luck!

are you an rn, if you are, then just be yourself, you'll find that they're the one's who's selling themselves to you as oppose to the other way around.

Also, write a well-written, error-free resume with cover letter. Do a company search to get acquainted with the place a little better. Express your interest in working there. Good luck. :)
