If anyone has interview tips that would be awesome! This is my first real job interview and I have thought through interview questions, but still don't totally know what to expect. Thank you:)

Hello all

I'm starting the February cohort at UTSW in Oncology. My interview experience was rather pleasant. It was a three person interview consisting of manager, assistant manager and a clinical educator. They ask questions off a list that is given to them by the residency committee and your answers are then scored. Most of the questions were behavioral questions such as Tell us about a time when you went up and beyond for a patient? Tell us about a time when you disagreed with a preceptor or manager? Tell us about a time you made a mistake and what you have learned about it? Also they did ask more general ones like why the unit you choose or what professional organizations you are a part of. If anyone has aby specific questions I will do my best to answer those. Good luck with your interviews :)

Thank you so much for that info! Makes me feel a lot better because I read somewhere that it was not laid back at all and I worried it was going to be a huge panel of people.

Can I ask you how much they pay for a new grad residency? I am not from the area at all and am wondering how comparable it is to where I live.

thank you again!

Hopefully your interview experience will be as nice!

Sure.

base pay - 25.6

differentials - 4 for nights, 5.5 for weekejds

pay raise at 6 months - 1.44, one year - 0.9

I actually came from southern California where new grads get paid between 36-42 so definitely understand
