Interview, what to expect?

Published

Hey guys!

I just landed an interview for a nursing assistant job.

I am a RN student, going into my second semester of nursing. I wanted this job so that it can help me in my studies and help earn some extra bucks. What kind of questions should i expect, and what kind of clothes should i wear for the interview? I know it's not a big job interview, but i have never been interview for a job before. So honestly, i don't know what to expect.

Specializes in LTC.

I remember being asked a lot about my previous jobs, what I liked and didn't like. If you worked as a cashier or something they want you to say that you liked your job and liked helping the customers. I couldn't bring myself to actually say that because I haaaaaaaated the customers, so I said I didn't like the job much because business was slow so there was nothing to do and I like to be a little stressed out (which is true). She asked about my job as a private caregiver and what the family would say about me and if it was challenging to care for this lady. She also gave me a bunch of scenarios and asked how I would respond- like to an angry, confused resident, etc.

I had another interview before that with a different company and they mostly grilled me about if I could handle the workload. And they wanted a ton of written references and personal info on short notice.

Both interviews I wore a pretty knee-length skirt, a nice tee shirt, flats, and my hair in a bun, but you can't go wrong being dressier than that.

thanks! now i have an idea of how its going to be like

i was a cashier too, lol i know how you feel.
