tell me about yourself. if you were a Thanksgiving side dish what would you be 💀 and why did you apply to this unit. I answered the questions super fast so half the interview I asked them questions 😔

I wonder why they're doing a 3rd interview! Did they say when the in-person interviews would be?

OMG. The side dish question threw me off. I had to sit there in awkward silence to think about how to answer that one. 

She also asked me why this unit and that was pretty much all she asked me. For the CV acute interviewers, she said CALL not EMAIL, correct?

yes she said call

just finished the interview as well! I asked when the 3rd interviews might be and they said most likely Monday or Tuesday next week. for those not in LA, they can also set up a teams online interview instead of in person.

Oh thank you for this info! I'm hoping mine isn't scheduled during peak traffic time.

 

For other people waiting to be interviewed, definitely have an answer ready for "why did you pick this unit?"

Just got the email from CV acute that I did not get the position. Wasn't meant to be but that's okay. Wishing everyone else the best 🙂

Got the same email too unfortunately. I'm super sad as well but we'll be OK! What's meant for us will be for us! Good luck everyone! 

Does anyone know when we're supposed to hear back from 4West after the second interviews? 

OMG I wish the other units would let us know if we did / didn't get it after our interviews ! I just need the bandaid ripped off!

Hii, I don't but I am wondering the same thing? During my first round interview, they said final offers go out the week of Dec. 9th. How do you think your second interview went? I feel unsure about mine LOL

Ugh I was hoping it would be sooner haha. I think it went okay? But psyching myself out for sure. I went in person so was hoping that helped! How about you?

yeah I'm confused about these 3rd round interviews bc they never mentioned them? & you guys had the option for an in-person 2nd round? Mine was scheduled for online next week
