i am interviewing for a CNA position (and to get trained through them so they know i have no nursing experience).
I have NEVER had a part time job though other than an internship with elementary school kids so I don't know what to say when they ask. I am 19 and a freshman in college. I didnt work through high school because i was more focused on my studies.
I plan on stressing that I care about the dignity and respect that older patients deserve, how I have wanted to be a nurse from hearing my mother's stories about it and visiting her at work, how I am precise and can overlook any type of unpleasant sights and smells that accompany maladies of residents in order to provide them with the best care.
What should I literally say when they ask "What would your last employer say about me?"
Should I say, "I've never had a job." or "I've never had a job but other people would tell me i am ...."
Any other tips? Like what kinds of questions they will ask? I am so nervous! I really want this job!
A good friend who has worked for the company knows me and has talked about me there, and she said the job is basically mine and they are waiting to post the job until they meet me. I dont want to mess this up!
Thanks in advance.
also should i bring a resume w/ no experience?
