Interview disasters

If they were distracted, maybe it wasn't really about you at all - they may have already decided to hire someone else, but wanted to interview you because you already had an appointment.

In any case, when someone tells you they decided to go with someone else, you might ask what you can do to improve your interviewing skills.

Believe me managers are distracted a lot and most the time it has nothing to do with you. By the way, I know a lot of people who thought they had bad interviews and got hired anyway.

Don't feel bad..... Managers can be distracted at times, They have a million things going on at once. You should take under consideration our economy has affected many hospitals, I know for a fact that its a challenge to get hire as new grad. You should cross examine yourself, how is your body language? eye contact? confidence and assertiveness is a most. Writing a thank you email to the interviewer is a plus. Get familiarize with the hospital accomplishments and the staff, may help you too.

BEST OF LUCK

So true, this is what happened to me. I thought the interviewer really didn't like me, I didn't feel like myself and felt like I hadn't satisfied them. Overall horrible interview IMO. But I just got the call yesterday that they wanted to offer me a job. Maybe it wasn't as bad as you thought.

Best of luck!

If the managers are nasty would you want them managing you

I knew a company that actually posted a job and interviewed several candidates. Though the whole process was bogus because they already knew someone they wanted for the position that already worked at the company. HR made the manager 'post and interview' The whole idea of it makes me sick. Wasting people's time. Often times an interviewer has made their mind up in the first minute anyway....

I know most places like to hire from within when they can, but some places are obligated to interview all interested parties before they can do it.

managers have a number of very valid reasons to be distracted, even during an interview. perhaps someone on the unit was coding, a doctor was pitching a fit, a patient was threatening to sue or to leave ama or the manager's husband just totalled their suv. in these economic times, there aren't that many jobs being filled and there is plenty of competition for the jobs that are being filled. if you and i were both going for the same job, and they hired me instead of you would you think it was because there was something wrong with you? or because i had more experience? try to be a little easier on yourself and those managers . . . jobs are hard to come by these days, budgets are shrinking and the patients still keep coming!
