Question 1
Tell me about yourself and a positive and negative thing about yourself
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Torrance Memorial Medical Center (Torrance, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Applied online and was contacted by HR relatively quickly to set up an interview. I opt for the in person interview versus the virtual on zoom since I live close by. The day of my interview was when they had the nursing open house where all of the departments were interviewing candidates. I was interviewed on a Monday and The interview was pretty straightforward and I was interviewed by three nurses. My interview lasted about 15 to 20 minutes and I heard back for a second interview by the next day (on Tuesday) by the nurse recruiter. I was scheduled a second interview for the following day (Wednesday). This interview was with the same three people along with the Director of the department. I then heard back the next day (Thursday) with an offer for the position. The process was much faster than I was expecting.

Question 1
What makes you stand out among the other candidates?
Very friendly 6-person panel interview. 10/15 min interview with mostly personality based questions. Did not have case study questions. They mainly wanted to get to know you as a person and how you would fit in. Interviewers made you feel comfortable.
