What's the worst job interview you've ever had in healthcare? Was it your fault or theirs? No shame in this game, just looking for laughs - I had a terrible interview today.

Honestly, I've had quite a few bad ones so I wouldn't know where to start lol...I feel like I've had a lot of interviews where you can tell they just don't care about you or the role and it's just...disheartening

One that sticks out immediately is that I filled out the proper paperwork and stuck around to meet people and the routine of the place, only to constantly over hear about the failing finances of the place, severe lack of organization, and the high turn over rate. It immediately made sense as to why the interview process was so short that they practically hired me the same day!

I had a job at at a childrens psychiatric facility and it was awful. We were constantly getting attacked by kids, punched, bit, etc. There were so many rough days that I couldn't take it anymore and I ended up leaving.

When getting into nursing, my first interview was a bummer! I was so nervous and unprepared. The week before the interview was hectic so I wasn't in the right headspace. Totally my fault.

Most of my interviews were horrid starting out. There are so many intricacies of any job in healthcare and trying to remember terms right out of school is hard especially when you don't have experience to help out.

I once showed up to an interview while pregnant and suffering with major head cold. I was so congested and felt overall terrible needless to say didn't get an offer but learned to cancel next time if ill

How do you get experience when no one will hire you? I wouldn’t mind hanging a shingle but I feel it’d be irresponsible to do so with no experience. Unlike all of my classmates, I never landed an internship/externship in law school - had only one interview. I was a PT law student, came from a CS background, and worked in IT throughout law school. I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?

A quick check. How many of you got the project after joining in coforge? If you got the project is it same client which was promised while interview process? Please respond.

Recruiters, is it frowned upon for candidates to reach out to you on DM on Linkedin? Or does it show that they’re more interested than just submitting an application?
