Interviewing

by Carla25

Hello,
I will be graduating in May, and I plan to start applying for jobs at my local hospital soon. I was wondering if anyone could give me some interviewing tips?
Thanks in advance.

Default Re: Interviewing
When I interview I look for confidence. I also like to see that they can look me in the eyes when we talk. I do not find it necessary to know their life story. If you get asked a question like tell me a little about yourself, try to stick to your professional self rather than a lot of personal information.
Good luck with your future.

Be clean. Provide good (working) phone numbers. Amazing how many times I have been given old numbers. And please be willing to work goofy hours, if only now and then. If another new grad tells me they cannot work nights or weekends because they have a family (I guess the rest of us are all orphans) I will scream.
