Hard Interview

Case studyBehavioralStressful

Went through the assessment at home first. Cases were interviewer led and I prefer candidate led so the format felt harder to navigate. Got a profitability case involving a hospital system cutting costs and got lost in the math halfway through. PEI story was about an initiative I started at a student club and they pushed on every detail for 15 minutes. When they ask what would you do differently the real answer matters so have one ready
