Interview Questions

[Tachymeter]

So I was wondering about how many questions I should have for the interviewers? I've heard that alot of these interviews are pretty one-sided, so is this not necessary? Also what type of questions should I be asking, particularly about a new school like PNWU? Or is all this things I should be asking during the tour and other activities? Thanks for your input, I'm so nervous for my interview tomorrow. Also I had a job interview yesterday but I had absolutely no nervousness because I was totally using it as practice for the med school interviews, still I hope to get it.

From my experience 1 interview we were asked around 20 times during the day if we had any questions. So have plenty ready.

First of all. Congratulations on the interview.😀 If what you are really asking is should I ask lots of questions to impress them I would say no. But if you have legitimate questions about certain things that come up or are of concern to you, i.e. what steps do you have in place or have thought about to help us pass step 1? That was a question asked when I interviewed at VCOM, which is a newer school. Best of luck on the interview.

Okay I have to attribute this question completely to Nascardoc. I "borrowed" it from him for my DCOM interview. Essentially I asked what made them want to be and decide to become faculty at DCOM. Dr. Leo went from Western to LECOM-B then to DCOM. Of course I asked not because I just needed something to ask but it really intrigued me to know what it was about the school, especially being new, that drew them away from their former positions at different schools. I think it's a great question for any school but especially new schools. I plan on asking the same thing at my AZCOM interview if I get the chance because it helps to get a better feel for the school and the people.

Great question EEL & Nascardoc! If I get any other interviews, I am going to be sure to ask that.
