Ok so I had a 2 step interview today with the nursing sup and the DON...here's the scenerio: I got there about 10 minutes earlier, sat quietly and patienlty in the lobby for about 20 or so minutes. Then finally the nursing sup came and got me, we sat in a sorta conference room. She couldn't find my resume(and I left my extra copy in the car,duh!!) But it was ok I had the app she emailed me to fill out. So she starts telling me about the company and position. Then she asked me to tell her a little bit about myself. Which I did. Then we talked abt what I said a little more after a little bit of back and forth in walks in the DON...interruptive and unorganized she asked maybe 2 ?'s regarding my background and my graduation date. Stated a couple things about orientation and when they would be calling ppl back...my dilemma is the whole thing lasted maybe 15 minutes all together they didn't ask any traditional interview ?'s nor did the DON make eye contact with me when speaking to me. Is this normal? Can you make a career judgement off of a person without really talking to them? They told me my biggest weakness was gonna be time mgmnt with regards to passing meds b/c I am a "new grad":mad:...how do you know that? Not everyone fails at the same things. I was very uncomfortable with the interview style/technique:o. If I dont get the job should I be disappointed since it was a great opportunity? I got the feeling that I was being rushed out the door b/c they had better things to do then get to know me. It felt like an interrogation more so than an interview:down:.
