Many people are looking for a job while they have one; in my case, there were no available interview times other than smack in the middle of my work day. Times offered were limited every day to 10am-3:30pm and no Fridays. Not many people work hours in which this would work. I tried to do the Zoom call in my car during my lunch time and unfortunately the video was malfunctioning. The interviewer was extremely passive aggressive and stated “well, your video presence is extremely important for telehealth.” Ma’am, we have been in a pandemic for almost 2 years; seasoned clinicians understand the importance of video and how telehealth works. We also understand that it’s incredibly unprofessional to take a video interview at the desk of your current job using your current employer’s WiFi and equipment. If you offered interview times with flexibility, you wouldn’t be putting your applicants in the position of having to leave work for the time to commute home and back for the interview, sit in their car for the interview, or use employer time and equipment for the interview. When I explained the situation, she continued to tell me to reschedule despite my informing her that the times offered would all involve the same issue. The inflexibility and attitude - not to mention a clinician who doesn’t listen - was a huge red flag for the employer as a whole and I won’t be rescheduling.

Standard clinical questions but I did have to participate in 3-4 interviews. Although I did receive the position, I did not feel confident following the interview due to the director's stoic personality.
