      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at UAB Medicine

      Interview

      Originally was called for an interview, I live out of town so I drove in the night before and stayed in a hotel. Went in for my interview and skills test. After my skills test I was told that the woman doing my interview was is a meeting and to go ahead and leave, that I would do a phone interview instead by the end of the day. I stayed in town for a few hours, just to offer to meet face to face but I never heard back. I called towards the end of the day to check in and got a message machine. Four days past and they called and said they had been tied up, and that I should have my interview by the end of the day or the following day....never heard back after that regarding that position. A month later I applied to a second position and received a call to confirm an interview the following day. I was hesitant to accept, but the company is well know, so I didn't think I had anything to lose. I made to the actual interview this time and so far I love working for the company.

      Application

      I interviewed at UAB Medicine (Birmingham, AL) in Nov 2020

      Interview

      The interview process was great. Of course they have to make sure you get set up with employee health to ensure you have a flu shot. They even checked to see that I was immune to Hep B. I wasn’t. Which they gave me a free vaccine for. Standard interview questions. Although HR said salary would range between $13-16 they did not honor that and was slightly lower ( even after trying to negotiate). I have a masters degree and so it’s not a long term role.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at UAB Medicine (Birmingham, AL) in Aug 2018

      Interview

      I was emailed to call and schedule a face to face interview. I was interviewed by two really nice nurses over the department. Simple questions were asked...(how do you deal with stressful patients?) We talked and laughed (for 30mins) and lucky for me the job needed to be filled immediately so my interview ended with a nurse saying he will contact HR and tell them to call me to make an offer. It’s been two days and I have yet to hear from HR but I checked my job status on the website and it states that they are currently running a background check. I was told there will be a week of orientation/training before working as well. I was basically talked to as if I had the job. I put I was offered the position because technically I was... BUT I’m nervous about the credit check , it’s listed in the job qualifications that you have to pass to be considered (idk if they have ran it or not). I believe I have the job from the way the conversation went but looks like it’s up to HR to clear me. My credit is “Fair” but idk what they are looking for, it was not brought up during the interview. Advise: just apply and check the job listings daily, smile A LOT during the interview, have a solid resume (I was complimented on how well my resume is), and don’t give up UAB is very competitive but a great company to work for.
