What would my peer interview with a Vivian Clinician Advocate look like, and how should I prepare?

Our team is excited to connect with you to review your job search! Be prepared to discuss your clinical experience, including the specialties you’ve worked in and professional certifications you hold. In addition, our Clinician Advocate asks you about your background, education and the environments you’ve worked in, such as hospital or home health settings. If you’ve previously worked for a facility, we perform a quick rehire check before moving forward with the process.

We review your resume and relevant experience for the hiring team. Checking that your resume is updated and uploaded to your Vivian profile helps improve your peer interview experience.

Roadmap for Success

You’ve recently had a call with our Clinician Advocate team, and we’ve sent your application to the hiring team. Congratulations! Now, you might be wondering, what do I need to do next? Here are some strategies our most successful candidates have used to land their next role through Vivian.

Communication

Check all modes of communication daily (email, phone/text and Vivian messages) to ensure you don’t miss opportunities to connect with the hiring team. Don’t forget your Spam/Junk email folder.

Emergencies do come up. Please contact the hiring team member that scheduled the appointment with you at the facility directly via email and phone to let them know if you can’t attend the planned interviews or pre-employment meetings. Also, let us know through the Vivian chat so we can stay informed.

If you decide this role is not for you at any point during the process, please let the facility and Vivian team know immediately. This communication ensures that you maintain your candidacy if you choose to pursue an opportunity with them in the future.

Preparation

Once scheduled for your interview, be prepared to answer specific clinical questions based on your experience. Research the facility and clarify why you want to work for them in the role for which you’ve applied.

Know your interview platform. Is your interview in person? Do you have the facility address and directions? If it’s an online interview, ensure you have Zoom or Microsoft Teams downloaded and ready to go well before your interview date.

Presentation

Have an online interview? Verify you’re in a quiet space with no background distractions and a stable internet connection.

Are you traveling to an in-person interview? Be aware of travel time to account for traffic so you can arrive relaxed to check in 5-10 minutes before the interview. Bring a copy of your resume and cover letter.

Unless the team specifically asks you to wear scrubs to the interview, dress in conservative business attire. Collared shirts without logos and pants or long skirts are all acceptable.

Be prepared to answer questions clearly with examples from your experience. When discussing situations with past employers, keep your responses positive and focused on what you want to accomplish as part of their team. We want the hiring team to take note of your professionalism, not just your clinical ability.

Our team at Vivian is here to support you through the hiring process! Reach out to us with questions via your Vivian account, and we’ll be happy to help you throughout your road to success!
