What was the most interesting question?

Since I am older, the interviewer had my resume. She noticed that I had changed jobs every three years. She wanted to know why I thought medicine would hold my attention more than the other positions.

What was the most difficult question?

The "Jehovah's Witness" question... If a child was dying and needed a blood transfusion and the parents refused, what would you do? Typical.

Very low key, easy-going, direct and un-cheesy. The interviewer was NOT interested in my "onstage" self. She wanted to get a feel for who I really was. Excellent.
