I have a job interview tomorrow....

Published

I haven't worked in 9 years, and I haven't had an interview in 13!!! I did, however, take a RN Refresher course last semester, and I did 3 shifts a week for a couple of months at a different hospital in addition to the "bookwork". The position I am interviewing for is a full time 12 hour night spot at a large hospital on the postpartum unit (I worked postpartum when I was working 9 years ago). Any suggestions for me?? I have no idea of what questions they may ask or anything.

Thanks!

I interviewed for positions last September. Before going in I googled something like "common interview questions," picked out what I thought i could get asked and prepared & practiced answers for them. I did really well. And I would say they asked me very few questions I hadn't already anticipated & prepped for... like less than 10%. Try it.

What do you know about us, why do you want this job, what are your strengths/weaknesses, tell me something you liked/didn't like about your previous position, tell me about yourself, what are your long/short term goals, how do you define customer service, tell me about a difficult situation with a co-worker and/or supervisor and what you did to handle it... those are common ones.

Good luck.
