After the application there was an interview with 3 people. Asked a few questions that were sent beforehand and a few new ones. Using the SHARE model is very important so make sure you do a bit of research beforehand. They have several videos on how to do it on YouTube that I'd suggest you watch. Take a breath, you'll do great!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a time you had to persuade someone to change their point of view.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Mayo Clinic in Nov 2020
Interview
Asked over the phone by HR, would I consider a different position if this one wasn’t offered. Interview was a panel of 3, did not seem interested, no eye contact, appeared rushed, did not ask behavioral or skill/scenario related questions, introduced themselves as went through CV. It was apparent the position was already offered to someone else, and mine was simply a formality to appear inclusive. A clear waste of my time, which I did not appreciate.
I applied online. I interviewed at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) in Nov 2020
Interview
I interviewed during Covid, so my interview took place on Skype business.
1-hour with recruiter
1.5-hour with Nurse Manager of floor + manager of another floor
The first part of the interview was mostly clerical information. He told me about the job, the area, the onboarding process if I were to accept a possible job offer. Then he asked me one behavioral interview question and one clinical reasoning question. He gave me very in depth feedback to both and even helped me prepare a bit for the second part of my interview.
The interview with the nurse managers were a couple questions about me and my career goals and why I wanted to come to Mayo and that unit specifically. Then lots of behavioral interview questions, then three clinical reasoning questions.
