Hi there, I have worked in healthcare for nearly 10 years, mostly scheduling patients and procedures, with 2 years experience in Credentialing, compliance and privileging. I am feeling pretty burntout due to also dealing with autistic burntout. Any suggestions on other jobs possibly not in the medical field that would translate well?

Counselor

Where would I be able to find referrals? I’m looking to advance in my career at a different agency because I realize a private practice isn’t for me financially at this time. I’m not leaving my job cold Turkey but I need to look for something stable and I know referrals would greater my chances of getting hired.

Physical Therapist

I feel that former employer might have slandered my reputation. Almost a year ago, I had accepted a physical therapist position with the VA and all was going well until I get a call from their HR department saying that they had to rescind the offer due to something that came up in my background. Never been arrested or have any legal complaints filed against me. VA said I’d have to file a FOIA request. Which meant all the info was blacked out when I got the info I requested. What do I do?????

I am a psychologist starting a new job tomorrow. Everyone that I have come into contact with at my new job have been dressed very professionally. My first day is an orientation day and the HR director told me that I may want to dress in comfortable clothing since I will be sitting most of the day. What would you wear?

The most unprofessional interview experience I've ever dealt with. The person interviewing me didn't even show. Waited 20 minutes, just to be informed that he was not in that day. Definitely worth avoiding.

He's not in today. Would you like to reschedule?

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Virginia Hospital Center (Arlington, VA)

Interview

Long. Before I talked to a hiring manager I had to do a long (almost two hours) phone screen that was like a personality or strenths test. You can't really tell from the questions what strenth they're trying to measure.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Virginia Hospital Center (Arlington, VA) in Mar 2020

Interview

Apply online. There is a personality quiz that takes forever. They take this seriously. Answer as a team player. HR will call you and ask you how much you make and want. They'll ask why you are seeking a change. Majority of the 2020-2021 hires have no hospital CM experience. The people hired after me: came from bedside, owned a daycare (worked in a hospital a long time ago), stay at home wife (RN). If you have CM experience, you will probably get a job offer. Your first interview will be with director. He talks so much. The interview is him talking and needing an audience, more than it is about you and your experience. If you're an active listener, meaning letting director talk, he'll likely like you and you'll get invited to a peer interview. He has already coached the group on the peer interview to accept you. They actually get penalized if they say anything negative. HR will do job offer by phone. If you accept, there is a drug test and background check.
