Interview
First I went to the human resources office to interview with the coordinator. She asked me a series of behavioral questions and then she sent me over to meet the clinical managers on the upper east side. I met two supervisors- one for each department and then the manager came in and asked me further questions. ALL OF THE QUESTIONS WERE BEHAVIORAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS. So if you prepare then you won't have to stop and think. They were really nice nonetheless.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, NY) in Aug 2018
Interview
I was called about 2 weeks after applying online, and scheduled a phone screen interview. The phone screen took about 10 minutes and I was asked pretty generic questions about my research experience and clinical experience. They then said I would need to come in for 2 more interviews over the next month, which seemed a little excessive.
