Here's a few tips: find out all you can about the hospital before your interview so you are informed, smile, be confident, prepare your own questions to ask, and even try to let the interviewer do more of the talking. Also, just realize that you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you.

1. Research the company.
By knowing as much as possible about the organization you're interviewing with, you'll be able to speak about topics that are relevant to the job you're applying for.
2. Learn about your interviewer.
If you can learn a little about the person who will be interviewing you, you'll be miles ahead of the game. Try to research up one or two things about her accomplishments, history with the organization, outside interests.anything that will help you break the ice and speak to her about things she's interested in.
3. List the questions you want to ask.
The employer shouldn鈥檛 be the only one asking questions during the interview. After all, you鈥檙e trying to decide where you want to spend eight or more hours a day for the next few years. Be prepared with your own questions, which should:
