I'm beginning to get dates for interviews and realized I'm completely unprepared! What to wear? Do you need to bring anything? Common questions?! any advice would be extremely helpful!
Yeah man! I'm going to wear a suit but it's up to you. Some people may wear khakis and shirt and tie, others may wear the suit. However, Will a 3 piece suit be a little too much?I'm beginning to get dates for interviews and realized I'm completely unprepared! What to wear? Do you need to bring anything? Common questions?! any advice would be extremely helpful!
Oh wow thanks for the questions. Were these the questions you remembered or were these all of them. 15 questions seems short...or was your interview pretty long?Congrats!
In my case, I was told never to bring anything unless you are asked to. They have your resume, grades, etc. Always wear a suit. I didn't see anyone who wasn't wearing one (even the majority of girls did).
Interview questions:
Why do you want to be a PT (duh)?
Why not medical school/PA school/etc?
What are some issues going on in PT right now?
How do you think you are going to be able to handle the course load and demands of PT school?
How do you feel PT's help their patients?
What experiences have influenced your opinion of PT in a positive/negative way?
What don't you like about PT?
What skills do you think are important to have as a PT?
What do you think you can contribute to our program?
What are your strengths/weaknesses?
Tell me about a time in which you were in a problem and how you solved it.
Tell me about a time you failed.
What are your plans if PT school doesn't work out?
Do you have any questions for me?
These were all questions that I was asked, so I hope that helps!
When I was doing mock interviews with my boss, he wrote up a list of questions I should have solid answers to...
Ummm...directions i guess....you can leave those in the car though. I have to bring directions because I have an interview at Temple. I've never been to Philly and I probably will get lost. I was told that strangers are not very helpful with directions in Philly.
No, I was asked a lot more. I had 3 interviews total at my school (2 individual, 1 group). Those are just the ones that I can remember! And they seem to be typical interview questions. When I was doing mock interviews with my boss, he wrote up a list of questions I should have solid answers to...and sure enough, I was asked a lot of them! I would say ~8 of the ones I listed, I practiced with my boss beforehand.
