Interview at Duke

Published

Hi all,

I am graduating this May, and I have just received word that I will have an interview at Duke University Hospital next week. I was wondering if anyone had any interview tips for me? This is my very first interview (besides a life guarding job) so I need all the help I can get!

Thanks so much to everyone who replies!

Hi. I hear yah...the waiting process can consume you. When I had my interview in the oncology unit, they informed me when I will hear back from them. Sure enough they called me with an offer in that time frame (interview Monday and decision Friday). You did your interview in a totally different unit so they might have their own schedule. Just a thought :) good luck!!!!

Ya they told me I should hear back no matter what the decision in 1-2 weeks. I know they still had interviews left to do so I understand the wait, I just dont like it! lol.

Congrats @ashaffer89!! That's awesome! If you don't mind, what was your interview like? I feel like I'm the only one not getting an offer at Duke! They didn't ask me super hard questions which left me feeling pretty good about it, but it didn't work out. I won't give up though, maybe it just wasn't the right fit for me. Where are you moving from?

Duke had something like 48 new grad positions and I know of at least 10 of my classmates who got a job offer there

My interview was very laid back. It was interesting because they started off by asking "what questions do you have for us?" which was strange for me because thats normally at the end. But it put me at ease since I wasnt on the spotlight yet. They asked me maybe 5 questions. Nothing out of the ordinary "tell me about a time when..." I did do mock interview practice and really studied up on Duke. I was almost like preparing for an exam. BUT every manager is looking for a certain fit for the company culture so its hard to know what did or didnt work for them. I would suggest emailing them and asking about it.
