They said that the answers to the essay questions were what is most looked at and important. Also be specific about which units you want to work in. Someone said something about if you don't have a preference should you say that and they said no. They want people who have an interest in being in each unit. Working on mine right now!

Did they talk about what the scoring rubric is like, phased screening, and tips/tricks for a cover letter? I saw on the page that they would cover it

They said to include relevant clinical experience. I don't remember exactly but they said something regarding the resumes having to pass one phase of people scoring it (the essay questions) and then you'd be contacted for an interview if you passed the second phase. The questions are what is scored but of course other aspects of your resume are considered.

Do our resumes have to include our clinical sites/hours? Or does anyone know an email that I can ask?

I don't believe they said, but I think it's a good idea to include all clinical sites + hours on your resume for any new grad position!
