Phone Interview

Nurses Job Hunt

Published

I got two e-mails 7 days ago. One from the Base Clinical Lead and one from the Program Director. Both stated they wanted to interview me for a new Fixed Wing base that they were opening. It would be a phone interview. &nbsp;The last e-mail stated that they would contact me soon to set up a phone interview. New Years Eve and New years day were in this time frame. My question is, when should I follow up? I do not want to pester them but I do want to show my interest. Should I call or should I e-mail?<br><br><br>My other question is, has anyone done a phone interview? Any suggestions?<br><br>Thanks.

I had a phone interview last month for anew graduate position. They reviewed my resume with me for about 5 minutes andthen asked me about 10 behavioral questions where I had to come up with aspecific clinical example. For example, "Name a time your listening skillspaid off", "Name a time when you worked in a stressfulenvironment", "Describe a difficult patient you had and how youhandled it". Then there was about 10 minutes for me to ask questions aboutthe position. The interview took about 30 minutes total.

Make sure to be in a quiet place with no distractions and think of it like anopen book test. Have a list of clinical situations you could use to answerquestions along with a list of questions you want to ask them.

If they haven’t contacted you by Monday, I would go ahead and give HumanResources a call on Tuesday to see the status of your application/interview.

Good luck!
