Failed me on lack of experience during I terviews process.!! I work 40 hours a week in a heavy ward in a HSE older person's care centre. And im failed by some Admin sitting in a desk job judging me ticking box's and deciding my job that I'm not good enough or experienced enough. Someone that doesn't know a hard day's work in their life. The HSE is filled with too many bosses, too many chiefs, and not enough Indians.

During the phone interview, it was all "tell me about a time when...." questions. Times when you've struggled and how you recovered, compassion, customer service, etc. The in person interview was easy breezy (for me). Personal questions about why healthcare, why Christ, etc. I think the in person interview is for them to see if you're a good culture fit.
