@babysushi how did you prepare for your interview? Do you have any advice for those who might try for next cohort?

Honestly, previous practice with interviews helped a lot! But I also had several stories planned that could fit multiple different scenarios, and I would always practice in front of a mirror, so I could see how I was presenting (for example, I realized I would fidget with my hands a lot and play with my hair so I would tie my hair up for interviews.) Take a moment when interview panelists ask you questions and gather your thoughts and really focus on answering the question- I would rush into answering right after they would ask me and I realized I wasn't even answering the question fully in my previous interviews. Always frame your answers using the "STAR" method and always end it with something you learned or something your doing to fix/improve on! Look up common interview questions on Glassdoor for the specific hospital so you have a general idea for the type of behavioral interviews they will be asking ? Hope this helps!!
