Interview with same nurse manager for 2 different departments?!

[HeatherGurl84]

I am currently in the middle of interviews with our local health department. Two weeks ago I interviewed for a position in Immunizations that I REALLY want and am awaiting word which should come anytime now.

Their recruiter also called me to interview for another clinic in the health department but the interview is with the SAME manager from the first one. Wouldnt this be awkward?

The interviews are an hour long and they ask the same questions, that require lengthy answers, for each department. They are like verbal essay questions.

Is it smart for me to go to this interview when I really want the position in the other department? I dont want this manager to feel like I am hopping from place to place. I really need a job and am stressed....ugh!

Interview this morning went very well. There was a lot of scenario questions that closely resembled each other. I feel like I talked in circles! They told me the county makes the final decision. I really want the immunizations position or this. They did tell me that it takes 2 weeks to process, and you will get an email from management if you did not get the position and a phone call from HR if you do get the position.

It as been 2 and 1/2 weeks since my immunizations interview and no email yet.....hoping that is a good sign.
