Average Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Stanford Health Care (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2023

Interview

Initially had a phone call interview from the hiring manager, it was 20 mins and included patient scenario “who would you see first” type stuff. Had a zoom panel interview following the phone interview, which included 3 managers from different units. This interview was around 45 minutes, they asked me to walk them through my resume, we went through behavioral and patient scenarios, and I had to interpret cardiac rhythms. Overall interview process was great, I felt like they really made me comfortable during the process. It took exactly 26 days in total from the day I applied to the day I got offered.

Health Data Analyst

Hi everyone, I've applied to a few roles at Kaiser Permanente, Deloitte, and additional healthcare related roles at Stanford Health and UCSF. I've been applying to jobs for months now and have been looking for an 'in' so to speak for any of these roles I've applied to. I graduated from UCLA with a Masters in Public Health specializing in Epidemiology and have a pretty diverse skill set. If anyone can help me advance my current applications in these companies that would be amazing.

Application

I interviewed at Stanford Health Care

Interview

Application: The first step is to submit an application, which usually includes a resume or CV and a cover letter. Some companies may also require candidates to complete an application form. Screening: Once the applications are received, the hiring team will review them to identify potential candidates who meet the basic requirements of the position. This may involve a quick evaluation of the resumes and cover letters to narrow down the pool of applicants. Initial Interview: The next stage is often a phone or video interview conducted by a recruiter or a member of the HR team. The purpose of this interview is to further assess the candidate's qualifications, experience, and fit for the role. It may involve questions about the candidate's background, skills, and motivations. Technical Assessment: Depending on the nature of the position, candidates may be asked to complete a technical assessment or task. This can involve coding tests, case studies, writing samples, or any other relevant exercise to evaluate the candidate's skills and knowledge. On-Site/Remote Interviews: Candidates who successfully pass the initial screening and technical assessment stages are usually invited for further interviews. These interviews can take place in-person at the company's office or remotely through video conferencing tools. The format may vary but often includes multiple rounds of interviews with different individuals or panels. a. Behavioral Interviews: These interviews focus on assessing the candidate's past behavior and how they handle various situations. Questions may revolve around teamwork, problem-solving, communication skills, and examples of accomplishments or challenges faced in previous roles. b. Technical Interviews: For technical roles, candidates can expect technical interviews to evaluate their expertise in specific areas. These interviews may involve solving technical problems, whiteboarding sessions, or discussing technical concepts and approaches. c. Managerial Interviews: In some cases, candidates may have interviews with managers or senior leaders to assess their fit within the organization's culture and values. These interviews may explore the candidate's leadership abilities, decision-making skills, and alignment with the company's vision. Reference Checks: Once the interviews are complete and the hiring team has identified their preferred candidate, they may reach out to the candidate's references to verify their qualifications, skills, and work history. This step helps confirm the candidate's suitability for the role and provides additional insights. Offer and Negotiation: If the candidate successfully clears all the interview stages and reference checks, the company may extend a job offer. This offer includes details such as compensation, benefits, start date, and any other relevant information. The candidate then has the opportunity to negotiate and discuss the terms before accepting the offer.

Interview Tips

Feel free to post any interview questions you might be asked and I’ll help you compose an effective response :)

Project Coordinator

I recently applied for a “Project Support Officer” this from the job description it’s pretty much a Project Coordinator/ Manager position. And I have been asked to create a poster to promote an event for young people that have long term health conditions. Now my question is why is the job advertised exactly like a Project Coordinator position, but Im asked to design a poster?! How can that reflect my experience within the project environment? It makes 0 sense to me.

Development Engineer

Had a peculiar 3-month interview with a scientific organization. Initial online presentation, followed by an unexpected in-person interview, still evaluated by the committee. Salary undisclosed; only relocation package mentioned. The team was satisfied, awaiting HR director approval, requesting references. 2-3 days later, before sending references, informed they chose another candidate. No response to emails; HR silent. Was I backdoor checked?

RFP Coordinator

I have a 5 year gap in my work history due to an illness. How do I explain this? I can't lie, SSD is on my background check as a previous employer. I am on it and looking to re-enter the job market and get off of it, but I understand it is a reason for employers to pause in hiring me.
