Humana Montage Phone Interview

[lschultz777]

I'm hoping you guys can help me. I had a telephone interview about 4 months ago and didn't make it past that. Now I've been invited for another telephone interview for [COLOR=#000000]Utilization Management Nurse 2 - Northeast Region position. So with that being said, my first interview wasn't what they wanted so I NEED this one to be the one.

My background: CM in short term home care ( this past 10 years) and long term home care, Managed care ( MLTC,HMO/PPO), medicare, Director of Nursing for LTC, Nursing Administrator for ALF, Disease management in home and SNF, Utilization Management (PPO/HMO, Medicare, Medicaid, Milliman Guidelines, Discharge planning home care and SNF, Rehab home care and SNF. BSN and MBA.

So this is what I remembered being asked on the last telehphone interview and my comments:

secure place...yes

high speed dsl/cable.... yes

case management certified: are you or can you be.... planning on taking in December.

how much money.... I said I was flexible and open for any reasonable offer.

They asked what I can do for them..... I discussed my years of experience makes my skills very diverse, I have CM in managed care-medicare-medicaid-short term and long term care, Milliman guidelines, Disease management from pends thru geriatrics involving all body systems, UAS certified, I have a BSN and an MBA.

Why am I the best candidate..... I basically said the above again, that I'm deversified and could bring a well rounded skill set for them,

How am I different then others.... Repeated some of the stuff above, I'm a team player, empathetic nurse, customer/pt centered,

Strengths and flaws..... strength in that my skills are in many different aspects of care and excellent clinical skills. Flaws.... I think others have the same work ethics and have higher expectations for them and I realized that others work differently and that that's ok.

So I'm asking for input on what I should say differently.

Your help and assistance is greatly appreciated.

Did you get the job?

Something that is really important is time management. Also the ability to work as a team is good, but in this role it's also good to mention your ability to work independently. Organization is important. Attention to detail is a plus. There is a chance that you may have been viewed as over qualified? I wish you the best!
