Navy NCP interview advice

Hello, I was in the NCP program and just accepted my commission. I had 2 interviews, one by phone and the other was in person.

The in-person interview was at a Starbucks and was relaxed. The interviewer was wearing shorts and a collared polo top. The questions were not difficult; they just asked questions about myself, why I chose to become a nurse and why I chose to join the Navy. The phone interviewer asked me simple questions about the nature of my previous jobs (I seriously had a job title of "Party Expert" haha) and how I applied my leadership skills in organizations in school.

My opinion is that a dress suit may be overdone. However, it depends on the where the interview is held and what the interviewer instructs you to do. I was told I could just wear nice casual clothes. I live in Texas, so I wore a skirt and a conservative top.

I had my interview at a naval hospital. It was more of a panel interview with 3 people and definitely not as casual as utamaverick's experience. It was in the winter and I wore a pant suit and I didn't feel over dressed. (But I tend to err on the side of being more formal than not.) Honestly, I don't remember the questions, but I think they were similar to utamaverick's. There was nothing unexpected - all pretty standard interview stuff.

Thanks guys. I will most likely be having my interview at a Naval Hospital. I won't be wearing a suit but just a nice skirt and blouse sounds like it should be ok.

How was your interview?

It went really well! I had a panel of 4 nurses asking me questions. They said I was impressive and they liked all my answers. We'll see if it helps my chance any!

That's great!! Hope you hear back from them soon!

Thank you!! :)
