PCT Interview Advice

Hi everyone!

I applied for a bunch of tech jobs at various hospitals and I finally got a call back + interview! I'm so excited. But I'm worried too because I've never had an interview with this capacity. I do not have any hospital or acute care experience, just one year of nursing home experience. I also have my STNA (CNA) license. Will I be at the bottom of their list since I have nursing home, not hospital, experience?

Also, any advice on what to wear? I don't want to over or under dress and I feel like at interviews I tend to under dress but I don't want to convey someone that I'm not and I don't want to feel uncomfortable during an interview.

Finally, I'm kind of worried about my hair! It's a natural color blonde but you can tell isn't natural because of my skin tone and black roots. It's also pretty short. Would this be seen as unprofessional? I don't want to dye it brown or black because I really like it this color and it took a while to get it this color but I don't want to be discriminated against.

Thank you in advance for any responses!

    Hello! So.... You won't be at the bottom of the list. When I started as a PCT, I only had a CNA with no prior experience in healthcare at all. A PCT position is really no different from a CNA other than some hospitals have the PCTs draw blood and do EKGs. Your hair should be fine. Just dress professionally. Good luck!!
