I interviewed with the division manager, the COO, and the lead physician in the practice. I was asked general interview questions as well as questions about my areas of special interest, which did include some clinical questions. I do recall being asked for specific examples of how I handed difficult clinical situations. They seemed very concerned with piecing out my "customer service" abilities and less concerned about my clinical skills, which I partially attribute to having a reference from a well-respected physician in the community (which is to say someone with out that may be asked more about their clinical skills).

The process began with email correspondence. Then, I was asked to submit my CV. After about three weeks, I was asked to come in for a face to face interview and given two dates to choose from. The dates were only three dates away! I worked both of them! But, after telling me they could not possibly make it another day, they called back and offered a workable time slot. The interview took place early on a Monday morning at a busy, downtown teaching hospital. The lady scheduling gave me poor directions and NO instructions on where to park. I had to valet park which cost money. Once there, the office was impossible to find without help. Once directed there, via a telephone call, the woman who called for directions was instructed to tell me to just walk in and have a seat. So, I did . Empty waiting room, typing in the background , no greeting, for 25 minutes!! Eventually , someone eventually came through the front door and grumbled " hello" after I said good morning ! Ten minutes later, that same grumbling women and the mystery typist appeared to conduct my interview . I was dressed and prepped for success. It was almost hard to take them serious!!!
