6 Tips for a Strong, Successful NP or PA Job Interview

Interviewing for a job, whether it’s your first or your fifth, can be nerve-wracking. Although the internet is full of interview tips, most lists are generic and don’t target NPs and PAs.

“That answer sets the tone for the way we get into the interview,” she explains. “It doesn’t change the questions I ask, but it changes the way I communicate with the candidate in terms of details about certain locations or variations within the system.”
