Tip Tuesday: Post-pandemic questions you might be asked—or want to ask—in job interviews

  • 1.  Tip Tuesday: Post-pandemic questions you might be asked—or want to ask—in job interviews

    Posted 06-01-2021 10:01:00 AM

    The job market is heating up right now. It’s likely you are either seeking to fill a position or finding your own next great opportunity… ideally in academic medicine.  No matter what side of the job interview you sit on, be prepared to talk about the impact of the last year. This great list below comes courtesy of Fast Company (subscription may be required).

     

    1. How did your company communicate and manage employees during COVID-19?
    2. Were you afraid of losing your job?
    3. What did you do when you were laid off?
    4. What are your preferred methods of communication in working remotely?
    5. Did you have previous remote working experience?
    6. What do you do differently now? 
    7. How do you clock out?
    8. What makes you excited to get up in the morning?

     

    Reminder: AAMC CareerConnect is a great place to post or search for jobs in academic medicine.

    Great list. I'd add:
    How did you stay connected with your colleagues and your organizational mission during the pandemic?
    What communications process changed for the better? (similar to what do you do differently question)
