      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      The whole process was great. First hour of the interview is with a placement coordinator. They ask you about your experience, why Mayo Clinic, few behavioral questions. They tell you about Mayo and the role/benefits. Second 1-1.5 hours is with unit manager. They ask several behavioral questions and clinical judgement questions. It was a difficult interview but if you prepare answers then you’ll do great. Got a call back a few days later with an offer. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming.
