I was contacted by Solanki Majumder regarding the initial interview. She conducted a phone interview and let me know she would reach out with next steps. She reached out to me on Tuesday to ask if I was available for a virtual interview with Regional Manager Stephen Betzler on that same Thursday. I let her know that, unfortunately, I wouldn’t be available because I was flying into Houston to wrap up my duties at my current job. She stated that Stephen would be unable to meet any other day and asked if I could make another time work. I let her know that I would try to make it work before 12:00 PM. Because of flight delays, I was unable to complete the virtual interview. I attempted to reach out to Solanki as soon as possible, but she didn’t answer. She called me back and said she wasn't sure whether Stephen would be able to reschedule, but she would let me know. She texted me later that day to update me on a new interview time. At the start of the virtual interview, Stephen let me know that this was his first healthcare job, that he’d been there for 3 years, and that he’d worked at Target prior to his time with DaVita. I let him know that my current role was also my first in healthcare, but that I’d worked in it for 5 years. During those 5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of managing 7 commercial offices (4 at one time) and 2 senior health offices. Stephen ended the interview by letting me know that he’d have Solanki reach out to me with next steps by eod or the next day. After not hearing anything from Solanki, I emailed her and Stephen thanking them for their time and asking if there was any additional information regarding next steps. They let me know that, unfortunately, they would not be moving forward with my application due to a lack of experience. This struck me as odd; by definition, I have more experience than Stephen. I was turned down from managing one healthcare office, yet in my current role I collectively manage 4 offices.

1st Was Phone interview with recruiter: They asked questions about my background, and behavioral questions. It took about 45 minutes and she took a lot of notes. 2nd Was a Panel Interview with other Facility Administrators and Group Facility Administrators. All of the questions were behavioral questions, mostly about how you have handled certain situations in the past. It is important that you are thorough with the recruiter and in your resume because the panel will have your resume pulled up and the notes from the recruiter. 3rd Was an interview with the Regional Director, which she asked behavioral questions as well as trying to get an understanding of my knowledge of the business aspect of the position. 4th I did a shadow day at the facility with the Regional Director and acting Facility Administrator. i was shown the facility and met some of the staff. Its important to have a lot of questions and get a chance to have a one on one with the Regional Director if they are their. Finally I did an interview with the VP and Director or Persons. This interview was intense, The will ask behavioral questions but they will want to know the thought process, the why and the how when you make a decision. Also they will focus on whatever shortcoming you may have and ask how you plan to overcome it.
