Interview yesterday... need advice

Nurses Career Support

Hello all. I had an interview yesterday. If I had to grade myself on the interview I'd give me an A. It was very comfortable and they seemed very impressed with me and we had a lot of serious talk and also laughed in the interview with stories. The lady told me they'd be filling the postions quickly so that I would probably get a second call for an interview with her and another physician that night. I never received one. Should I call today, tell her that sometimes my phone acts up since I live in hills and that I just wanted to check if they had tried to reach me? It's 12:10 now, so what time should I call?

I would not say anything derogatory about your phone service as you don't want to give them any ideas about their ability to reach you after you are hired. Just say that you are following up.

I never thought of that, thank you. Do you have a suggestion as to when I should call?

If you haven't called already, I would call before the day is up. You want to keep your name foremost in her mind. Good luck.

I just called, the lady remembered me and before I could say anything she apologized for not calling. She said the reason she hadn't called for my second interview was only because she was working out the time the Dr. was free to interview me next week. She said the Dr. doesn't work on Fridays so she would call me next week with an interview time.

This first interview went so well, but after reading about second interviews, I read that that's when they ask the tough questions. Like the first interview is just to see how you would fit into the office, the second was how well you'd be for the actual job. I got the Dr.s name but can't find much about her except where she went to college and three of her hobbies.

Please give me any pointers for what to expect and know for a second interview. Thank you. I really appreciate all the help.
