SustainHealth: Candidate Interview Tips
It’s important to remember that you won’t know what type of interview will take place until you are sitting in the interview room or taking the call.
Be sure to refresh your memory and consider special situations or examples of projects you have worked on, teams you have managed or trained, clinical settings or equipment you have be exposed to.
Here are a few tips for you to remember before heading out to that interview:
-
- Prepare, Prepare, Prepare! Remember that you won’t know what type of interview will take place until you are sitting in the interview room or taking the call. So, prepare answers to a variety of questions to ensure you are ready.
- Think like the Hiring Manager: What would you want to know if you were the hiring manager? Be sure to refresh your memory and consider special situations or examples of projects you have worked on, teams you have worked with, managed or trained, clinical settings or equipment you have been exposed to.
- First Impressions Count! For example, it’s important to arrive early (usually 10/15 minutes) to give yourself ample time to park or take public transport, leave home earlier than usual and check for delays the evening/morning before. If the interview is over phone or video, check the links and your connections are clear and always dress to impress!
- Be Yourself: It’s important to keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers. The interviewer is simply trying to understand how you behaved in a given situation. How you respond will determine if there is a fit between your skills and the position the company is seeking to fill. So, listen carefully, be clear and detailed when you respond and, most importantly, be honest. If your answers aren’t what the interviewer is looking for, this position may not be the best job for you anyway.
