I applied online. I interviewed at ScribeAmerica (New Orleans, LA)
Interview
The interview was scheduled at a library which led to some confusion on my part (not knowing where to go) until the interviewer finished interviewing the candidate before me and introduced herself. Interviewer was very nice and clearly loved the company/job. I took a typing test (was given the chance to retake up to 3 times), wrote down written answers to some interview questions, and had a verbal interview. The interview scheduling email mentioned to expect some questions on medical terminology but they were not difficult. They said they would get back to me within 48 hours but it's been a week and I haven't heard anything, so I'll assume it's a no.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If hepatomegaly is enlargement of the liver, what is cardiomegaly?
The communication prior to the interview primarily took place through email, which made the process straightforward and easy to follow. The interview itself was conducted virtually, and the interviewers were friendly, professional, and made the experience comfortable.
The interview process included an intuitive pre-recorded video interview as part of the initial application. Responses have multiple submission attempts, and you could watch your video back before submitting. I heard back from a hiring ambassador within 2 days of submitting to confirm my work availability and ability to commute to the proposed site. I received an offer within 1 week of applying. Response time may depend on the site and current needs. After accepting the offer, you will undergo additional steps depending on your site, including but not limited to a background check, e-consent forms, the credentialing process (paperwork, medical testing (UDS + QFT and mask fit), medical terminology exam, onboarding call, ScribeU courses, EHR training, bridge/floor training). Onboarding steps are very clear to follow, prepare you well for the role, and are paid.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What are your long-term career goals, and how will working with ScribeAmerica help you achieve them?
One behavioral interview with a lead scribe who asked about my experiences working with patients and doctors. Although I had none, they still accepted me because of my previous experience in the STEM field and interest to go into medicine.
