What makes a candidate stand out from the rest during an interview to make you want to offer them a position?
I've had several very good interviews, and been the first runner up at least 3 times now and it's getting old. I feel like I interview well (and that's the feedback I get from managers), but something is clearly standing in the way of me being the perfect candidate. I realize you don't know me personally or how I interview, but if you can share your experiences with candidates who really shined above the rest, that would be awesome.
I got an offer today! Full time in outpatient oncology! I am super excited!
In my interview, I did speak to being eager to learn, and having a strong foundation upon which to build my knowledge, so I hope that helped. Thank you all for the suggestions and guidance! :)
Even better, I was also offered a urology job today that pays 12% more, has better hours for my schedule (meaning that I can see my kid more, and it works better with my natural rhythm), and is very close to home (the other is about 60 miles from home with very thick traffic all the time). So even MORE excited!
