💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Honestly, they each opened with a question from my file. Then I literally just explained my file, gave ample context all the while answering questions to the typical Why DO? Why VCOM? Why medicine? Why primary care? without them having to ask me. Answers to all those questions were included in my story.
