I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sutter Health (Santa Rosa, CA) in Aug 2023
Interview
Interviewed with 3 people. The interview lasted for 30 minutes. They were clear about the expectations for the position. Each interviewer asked a question. They were really nice and easy to talk to.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sutter Health (Sacramento, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
It was stacked. I was put in front of a panel of 6 people including an area manager who walked in late. She went on to query me about a gap in my resume, and later more or less stated to me that I was unqualified, even though Sutter just hired multiple people with my exact credentials and exact job and significantly less experience in that job. Each member of the panel otherwise got to dissect my life. It was extremely uncomfortable but I am outgoing enough, and I thought the engagement was really positive. It went nowhere. The experience motivated me to apply and get hired out of state where employers still have a pulse.
Interviewer called me and said that I needed a certification for the position, but the website said otherwise. She made accusations that I don't read job descriptions and would not let me speak.

Interview
