The first selection is made by recruiters in the HR department who invite candidates to a phone interview. The recruiting manager then makes a second selection of applicants and invites them to an interview at the clinic. We use competency-based interviews, which means that answers to questions should be based on actual situations. It is important that you describe concrete situations as specifically as possible and try to avoid generalizing answers – this is so we can understand the situation, why you acted as you did, and what the result was.
