I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Essentia Health (Duluth, MN) in Jun 2023
Interview
Recruiter asked more questions from me. Meet n’ greet - about one or two questions were asked of me. Overall, it seemed like they weren’t too picky if they needed you in a unit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The recruiter asked me: They consisted of the amount of hours I spent in the unit, the type of patient care experience I have, the time I’ve gone above and beyond for someone, a challenging situation. During the meet and greet they asked to tell them about about the type of work experience i have, and about a time I faced a challenging situation.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Essentia Health (Duluth, MN) in May 2023
Interview
First off, I have never once left a bad review but this left such a sour taste in my mouth. I had a virtual interview with 2 woman & 1 man. The women seemed nice but the man kept interrupting my answers as if I shouldn't be given the time of day. He then asked why I left my most current job, the reason was on my resume right in front of him. Then he said, "ugh I guess I'm just trying to figure out why you want to be in healthcare with no previous experience" as if to say that my want to get into the healthcare setting was beyond stupid or that moving into a different career area is so off-the-wall. My resume is good & I am a good employee, I have never received a bad performance review. I was not applying to be a doctor, a nurse, something way out of my league, etc. I was reached out to on Indeed to apply and my skills matched the description almost 100% other than the fact that I would have to obtain a certificate within my first year of employment (which I was totally okay with). They must have liked what they saw, hence an interview invitation showing up in my email. I have never come across someone this rude and disrespectful while interviewing before. I'm thankful true colors showed during the interview, as I so evidently dodged a bullet working here. Never would I accept an offer with this department. Yikes.
