Phone Interview DaVita

**NICU Guy, BSN, RN** · Oct 16, 2014

That sounds kind of vague. All of my phone interviews have been a specific date and time. How can they expect you to present yourself best if you have no idea when they will call? What happens if they call while you are shopping and there are a lot of distractions or a place with poor cell reception?

The interviewer said that I should expect a call within one week from the manager of the clinic. So what do you think? I more likely did not get the job? Hmm

I had the same experience with Fresenius who is also a national out patient dialysis company. I was surprised about the telephone interview, the first one I have ever had. I got discouraged when I received a phone call telling me they were downsizing the facility where I had applied. I would not say that you have the job, it is a step-interview process. They first have the telephone interview, then I had a computer assessment to complete, then to be called in for the face to face interview. I didn't make it to the third step and it seemed to take a long time between each level. Don't get discouraged, but keep looking elsewhere for a position. I used my home telephone as my contact and told the dispatcher when I would be available so as to make sure I would get the calls.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I do not want to expect. But I will follow what the interviewer said. Expect a call within one week then. If no call, then it's probably not meant for me. But Im really hoping though.

And Yes, I should apply more and have back up. It's just that it's harder for someone like me who is newly licensed and no experience for more than one year to get a job nowadays.

Right now due to the economy, it is really hard for all of us to find work. Keep trying, applying, try to not get discouraged. Put your application in everywhere and look on-line for other positions sponsored by search engines such as Indeed, Monster, Job Hub etc.

I actually just interviewed with Davita on the 13th of this month and the recruiter I will receive a call within a week and I actually did get a call within a week and now offered a position. Just negotiating on the pay right now.
