Introducing Yourself

The purpose of an interview is to allow managers the opportunity to learn more about you. The most commonly asked question during an interview is “Tell me about yourself.” This question and answer is an opportunity to state your experience, skills, and strengths as it relates to the position and why you feel you are the best fit. Try and keep your answer concise and highlight professional experience as they

Professional Portfolio

Although it is not required, a portfolio can be very helpful. A professional portfolio can show that you came prepared for the interview. It is also a great way to showcase your achievements and best fit for the position as well as add additional talking points during the interview. It may include:

• A copy of your resume
• Cover letter
• Letters of recommendation
• Awards
• Licenses
• Reference sheet
• Samples of work

Personal Appearance and Grooming

It is important to dress appropriately for an interview. When researching U of U Health, you can learn about our dress code policies and any additional insight for the position you are applying for.

• Current employees can view our policy guidelines for the Hospitals and Clinics dress code through Pulse. Our dress code guideline is also available here .

  NOTE: Most clinical positions involving direct patient care may require employees to wear scrubs or other types of protective clothing during work hours; however, you are not required to wear scrubs or protective clothing while interviewing for a clinical position.

During an interview, it can be helpful to display good hygiene and grooming. U of U Health supports proper hygiene and grooming standards as an important practice for our employees and for maintaining good health and well-being. Grooming standards for employees are outlined within our dress code guidelines and are stated as follows:

Clean and neatly ironed or pressed clothing is appropriate to wear for an interview. Closed-toe shoes may be preferred instead of flip-flop sandals. You may want to avoid wearing clothing that is not well fitting, too tight, or loose as it may appear too casual for the occasion.

• As you pick your outfit for the interview, consider the job you’re applying for. For some jobs, you may want to wear more of a business professional outfit, while for others a business casual would be more appropriate.
• Select well-fitting clothing that you feel comfortable in. Ill-fitting clothes can give off an unprofessional impression and can make you feel uncomfortable. You want to be able to move freely and feel confident during your interview.
• Wear clean, ironed clothes. Make sure your clothes are clean and ironed to appear organized and detail-oriented.
• Pay attention to details. Polished shoes, neat hair, and minimal jewelry can elevate your overall appearance and show that you put thought into your outfit.

• Avoid dressing too casually! Casual dress means something different to everyone. Yoga pants, pajamas, wrinkled clothing, jeans, shorts, hoodies, and t-shirts are all too casual for a job interview.
• Don't wear tight or ripped clothing. Keep tight, revealing, and hole-filled clothing off your list of options. Anything that shows underclothing, cleavage, too much skin, or midriffs should be avoided. While ripped and tight clothing can be trendy, it could also impact a job interview.

Body Language and Non-Verbal Communication

Body language can send a message to others about mood and emotions. People will often believe what they see over what they hear; therefore, it is important to communicate your professionalism both verbally and non-verbally.

During an interview, here are some best practices that can show the interviewer you are interested and focused on the discussion.

• If you are able, sit upright and maintain a good posture.
• Make eye contact with the interviewer.
  • NOTE: If you are interviewing in a room with more than one person, try and make eye contact with everyone as you would in a conversation with a group of friends or colleagues.
• Avoid slouching in your chair or crossing your arms tightly. This can appear as though you are uninterested in the position or unfriendly.

Behavioral-based Interview Questions

Basic interview questions may vary and can depend on what type of information the hiring manager feels is important to learn about you. In general, basic interview questions will ask about your qualifications, skills, experience, and motivation. Behavioral-based interview questions require a response that provides specific examples.

For example, a question that begins with “Tell me about a time when…” is often behavioral-based. These types of questions are designed to help the interviewer learn more about how you acted and responded in a specific situation and help gauge how you would respond in a similar situation.

One way to answer behavioral-based interview questions effectively is to use the SAR method (Situation, Action, Result). An answer that is well thought out will provide the interviewer with information that describes a specific situation, and the action that you took in that situation, and explains the result.

• Be sure to give the interviewer enough information and detail about the situation so that it is clearly understood.
• Try to use a situational example from a previous job, volunteer, or any experience that is related to the question.
• Describe what you did in the situation to address the problem or challenges. It is important to describe to the interviewer what the result was in a situation. This technique can be a wonderful way to provide examples to the interviewer of how you’ve shown your skills or experience and the positive results or outcomes.
  • The result should help answer questions such as:
    • What happened?
    • How did it end?
    • What did you accomplish?
    • How did it benefit the company?

For example, “Tell us about a time you dealt with an angry customer.” Answer using the SAR method: Situation, Action, Result.

• Situation: “When I was working for Metrics Inc. as a Customer Support agent, I got a call from a frustrated customer. The customer was upset because she had called the customer support desk several times and was passed along from person to person without any resolutions to her problem.”
• Action: “I paused and made sure I was listening to the customer before speaking and used reflection responses so the customer knew I was listening and understood her concerns. Afterward, I walked the customer through the process of resetting her customer account preferences and showed her how to log in. When there were difficult parts of the process, I patiently coached the customer through the process step by step and I stayed on the phone until the customer completed the process successfully.”
• Result: “By remaining calm with the customer, being persistent and patient I helped solve the problem. The customer thanked me for being willing to go the extra mile to help her. She also completed our customer satisfaction survey and gave a good review. As a result of my actions, the company retained a customer that could have easily switched services to another provider.”

End of Interview: Asking Questions

Well-thought-out questions prepared in advance of an interview are a great way to show the interviewer you have done your research and are genuinely interested in the position. Try to save any questions you may have prepared until the end of the interview. The interviewer will likely ask you if you have any questions before the interview is over. This is a perfect opportunity to ask questions and gain further insight about the position or the department.

Avoid asking questions about salary or compensation during the interview. Questions about salary or compensation should be directed to one of our talent acquisition team members for further discussion and support. If offered a position, a member of our Talent Acquisition team or recruiter will contact you and work on preparing a competitive offer to start the hiring process.

Best Methods for Following Up after the Interview

After the interview, it is important to follow up. A thank you note or email to each person who took part in the interview is appreciated and recognized; however, please be aware this is not a requirement. If you are sending an email, thank the interviewer for their time and consideration, restate your interest and qualifications for the job, and remind them of your intent to follow up.

• NOTE: After the interview is complete, be sure to check your email for additional follow-up communication. Notifications and updates are generally sent to applicants through email. When an offer has been made for a position or a position has been closed, notifications are also sent through email to inform all candidates that had applied.

If you have additional questions, you may also reach out to your assigned recruiter for additional follow-up. If you are uncertain of who your U of U Health Hospitals and Clinics recruiter is you may send an email to careers@hsc.utah.edu .
