Interview

Automated video interview first to evaluate proficiency. Then interview with actual person after the evaluation is submitted. The automated video interview was a bit confusing but I understand why it is necessary.

Fast, easy and someone basically a recruiter comes and then if she likes you sends you to hiring manager, but they are very slow and disorganized so I would say it’s alright

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Cleveland Clinic in Oct 2023

Interview

Submitted resume. Spoke to the recruiter a week later. Easy process. Phone call with the recruiter went well, or so I thought. Recruiter said that all went well and next step the hiring manager will be calling in "2-3 days". A week later, no response and I get an automated email saying that recruiters have reviewed your application and have decided to pursue other candidates. Didn't hear back from the recruiter after requesting more info. Unprofessional and a waste of time.

Interview Questions
  • Basic questions about self and past experiences. Spoke about the job and what it entails.

Graduate Student

Hi! Looking for some advice regarding hiring processes. I completed 2 interviews with the company and they emailed to say they "want to put me forward for the job" and asked for references, passport, and for me to do a background check. I didn't hear anything for a week, so then emailed to check on my application status. They responded saying they would get back at the end of that week. Its been 2 weeks since. I emailed last week to ask for an update and have not received a response. Thoughts?

Got booted from my former position about 4 years ago, which I LOVED. I have the impression I was "kept" in sympathy. Now that I have my feet beneath me, I feel like I'm running in place. Over the past 2 years, I've probably applied for about 100 positions in other departments. True, a few were unlikely moonshots, but for the most part I didn't misrepresent myself. Am I the world's worst interviewer? Otherwise.. shouldn't I have been accepted elsewhere, by choice?

Administrative Assistant

I haven't worked since Jan. 2020 when my job as administrative assistant for the Hospitalist group was eliminated. I can't begin to count the number of applications submitted, interviews I've had, jobs that I was told were mine then they weren't, etc. Several jobs have fallen through or not panned out. I am not a job hopper and want to stay where I go. I have a zoom interview tomorrow for a front desk receptionist position at an oral surgeon's office. Any interview tips are appreciated.
