"You have a scheduling conflict, two patients have been scheduled for the same time, both have driven from far away, and have made special arrangement to be there at that specific time. You are alone. You can only do one procedure, on one person. What do you do? ans= Apologize first. Apologize again. Person with the most critical procedure you do first. Make amends to person who needs a teeth cleaning yet drove several hours to get there. Make monetary compensation. Try to make everyone happy. Too bad the interviewer was such a sourpuss about it." Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most interesting question?

"Mountain crash. Have several items which are most important. 1=lighter, 2=pot for boiling water, 3=hatchet to cut wood, 4=snowshoes to shovel snow... think about not leaving the crash site. You need to drink water to not get dehydrated at the high altitude, fire to keep warm, hatchet to cut wood for fire, snowshoe to shovel snow away from fire, bottle of sleeping pills isn't important and should be last=10, fish hooks=9 too cold to fish, won't be there long enough to starve anyway, flashlight will run out of batteries, twine can be used to gather wood together, rifle to keep wild animals away, but really bears hibernate in the winter in the mountains, so there is your hint of the 10 items and listing them in their importance to keep you alive for a few days."

What are your general comments?

"Arizona is lovely. Don't ask anything about why you should choose them over another school, sparks will fly. They get offended over every little question. They are the best because they said so. They don't give tenure to any teacher, and will only hire for a couple of weeks at a time. I feel sorry for any instructor that has to kiss ass to the students just so he can be invited back to work. The students run the show, if an instructor is too "hard" he doesn't get to come back. The students loved talking about this. I personally respect people who have decided to forgo a higher income and teach. The dean was really great, but that guy from Oslo, geez, what a cold stick." Report Response
