I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at UCLA Health (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
Three rounds of interviews, first with the hiring supervisor and then with another supervisor and the director of the department. The interview was more conversational rather than structured, so many of the questions were just asking to elaborate on your resume/CV. Overall, I found it very relaxed and the interviewers were very nice.
