What are your general comments?
My interviewer was very old (ca. 85 years) and made several inaccurate statements regarding items on my application. I wasn’t sure if he was intentionally making “mistakes†to try and catch me off guard and trap me in a lie or if he was just old and had not thoroughly read through my application. I did my best to politely correct him but after about the 5th or 6th mistake it became a bit awkward.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Q: "How long have you been employed as a CA (community/residential advisor)and what have you done about college drinking?"
(I've never been a CA)
What was the most interesting question?
"Where should we sit?" (upon arriving in the large conference room were my one-on-one interview took place)
How did you prepare for the interview?
poorly (8am interview and I managed about 4 hours of sleep the night before because I had to finish a term paper. In case you had not already inferred from my late interview date I am what some affectionately call: a procrastinator)
What was the most difficult question?
"What do you see as the biggest problem in healthcare?" (I promise that this was the most difficult one although "what do you do to relax?" and "what was the last book that you read?" were right up there with it)

When you are waiting for your interview they put you in a room filled with food, drink, and other various breakfast items
