I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville, FL) in Jan 2023
Interview
There was an initial interview, then two panel interviews back to back on Zoom. In between the two panel interviews, there was a "meet the staff" section where you could talk to individuals in the same area you would be working in. The questions were behavioral-based, so basically asking for examples of times you did a certain skill.

Describe a time you made sure to get it right the first time
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mayo Clinic
Interview
Phone interview, then an interview with hiring manager as well as three others in the department with different job titles, then a follow-up interview. There were some technical questions in the 2nd round interview. Offer was contingent upon passing drug test and background check was completed.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) in Sep 2021
Interview
I had the initial interview only, and it was about 3 months ago. I'm actually having another initial interview soon for the same position. I'm thankful for this as I can be more prepared.
The interview was much more difficult than I expected, and it sounded like later interviews would be even harder. It lasted about an hour. It was a Zoom interview. I got stuck on a few things, mostly having to do with school. I just graduated, but I mentioned some things I learned earlier in school, and upon needing to explain more about those things, I couldn't remember. I could tell that's when everything went south. I was very upset afterwards because the whole experience was so difficult, but I'm over the moon that I get another chance.
This time, I have been studying. I looked at all my school projects and made some notes about those along with previous work projects that I can talk about for the behavioral questions. They told me to use the SHARE method to answer behavioral questions (I found what it was later on Google). I also asked a friend who works there for tips. She mentioned that they like to ask situational stuff, which I think is the same as "behavioral" questions.
I've been applying to Mayo for years. Since I graduated, I've probably applied for 30 jobs. It's very difficult to get in, yet it's also discouraging because I have friends and family who got hired on their first application. But my dad, one of the smartest people I know, literally applied to hundreds of positions.
