NEW GRAD

[gabby112]

Hello

I had my first interview for a Hospital, I am schedule for a second interview a week later. I was informed that this will be a panel interview. Please give me some ideas of what to expect. Bear in mind that I am a new graduate.

Thanks

I've been on a couple, not really any different for me than a regular interview, just 2 or 3 people listening to the answers instead of 1, and the purpose seems to be to expedite the process (instead of doing second interviews). The ones I was in they each took notes and seemed to have a list of questions they took turns asking.

It depends on how laid back the unit is. I have had a very laid back interview where I was asked about my hobbies, my future plans, how I felt about team work. We spent about 30 minutes talking about the unit. I work there now.

The former facility(I worked at) was more structured and they had set questions to ask. They were the standard interview questions, and I was scored on a numeric scale. I got that job also.

My best advice: Take a deep breath, and remember that you made it to the second interview. Be honest, be friendly, and smile. Whoever interviewed you the first time saw something they liked.
