💬 Interview Questions
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
"Tell me about yourself."
I didn't get very far on this one before she changed the subject. Didn't see that interested in my response to this question.
"Why MD? Why not RN, nurse practitioner, or PhD?" She didn't seem to accept my response on this one and I felt like she was leading my response.
What was the most interesting question?
I guess the one about the surgeon general because it completely threw me off.
