How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN questions, some other quetions on an optometry site, prepped with family and friends.

What impressed you positively?

The building was awesome! The clinic is really nice, a bit far away, but really great because the patient population seems to be so diverse. The area is really nice too, quiet as well. The people were super polite and nice!

What impressed you negatively?

Just the clinic being a bit too far away, but also the lack of dormitories. The area seemed to have a lot of apartments though, so it shouldn't be hard to find.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to stress so much because the inteview was so laid back and easy.

What are your general comments?

Don't stress so much before the interview, it's really not bad.
