recruiter, then hiring manager. Very easy to talk to. Just asked basic questions like about experience and ability to work in a hectic and constantly changing environment. Both interviews were done over Zoom.

They asked how I would defuse a conflict. And how I manage multiple things at a time, given that inpatient units have ever-changing needs

I was first contacted by a recruiter, it took about two day after I turned in the application. They confirmed that you are aware of the time and type of position. Clinical tech is not a walk in the park, you are on your feet and working your whole shift. She confirmed the pay and checked to see if you had another position you were interested in and then told me she would send my resume and application on to the hiring manager. Within a few hours that same day I received a call from the hiring manager who runs the medical unit. She checks to see why you want to work as a clinical tech and why you want to work in their unit. They also make sure you are committing to working at least 1-2 years. Then I scheduled and interview for the very next morning. It was a panel interview with one of the nurse supervisors and the unit secretary as well as the hiring manager. I also got a tour of the unit and talked with a new hire tech who answered all my questions about the job and expectations.
They will hire people with no medical experince, if you desire to pursue nursing or go into medicine it helps your odds a lot. You don't need a degree but again it helps to have some college course under your belt.

Recruiter was nice , was rushed but wasn’t the bad part. We went over what position I applied for and informed her I can commit to the weekend due to the fact that I was taking classes . I get to the second interview for the imaging dept (CT). The interview was very causal . She only ask me tell me about yourself then ask what position I applied for and what shift . I tell her and she’s like oh that position already been taken. Then she emphasize importance of communication the irony . That’s all the questions she ask me and ask if I had questions. So I asked my questions and that was it she didn’t really give me a chance at all after she probably realized she fked up by giving positron to someone else already so I was irrelevant since I couldn’t do the other shifts. They just want to get people in asap which is crazy bc the job didn’t start till July.

You'll receive an unscheduled phone interview with the recruiter going over your resume and whether or not you'll be able to attend the 6-week course that's scheduled 2 months out. After which you'll schedule an interview with the nurse lead for the unit you've applied to. Where you'll once again go over your resume, and be asked 5 predetermined interview questions from a list. Then you're suppose to shadow other clinical technicians for 20 minutes. Overall, the interview process was dysfunctional and messy, with random interview calls and a disinterested nurse lead who went elsewhere, and forgot she left me to shadow in the unit.
