INTERVIEW HEADSHOTS

Hi, I have been invited to interview for a new grad program at St. Mary Medical Center in Apple Valley and the recruiter informed me I would be required to bring with me 2 professional headshots. I have questions as to how I should dress for the headshot? I only really have 1 good interview outfit and was planning on wearing that to headshots but also to the interview? would that look weird? Should I stick with solid colors and avoid prints for the picture? Also, I will be having 2-panel interviews back to back. He asked me what units I was interested in and I said ICU, ED, and Med/Surg if the others are not available. Do you all have any tips or advice as to the type of questions the specialty units might ask? I do not really have much nursing experience and a previous interview I had they literally only wanted clinical related answers and I gave as many as I could from my clinical experience and preceptorship in school but some of them I had not experienced in a clinical setting so I tried to give examples from my previous non medical field, but supervisor related jobs, and they said they wanted clinical related only??!! so that was a bust.

Sorry for rambling but any and all advice is appreciated.

They do the STAR method of answering questions which I still need to get better at.

Thank you.

    WOW, I have never heard of headshots for a nursing job....either I've been in my job too long, or things have really changed, but that is crazy!

    Good luck!

    That is really bizarre. I have never heard of that either.

    I have never heard of this either. What are they planning to do with those pics, use it for employment photo, keep it in your file, i would be very curious. Anyway, i would just wear something professional and I dont think it would be weird to wear the same thing, and also wear solid colors. Since you know how they interview I would just research that (STAR) and practice before the interview. Good luck!
