It was for a position at a surgery center, often considered an “entry level” position (especially by other O.R. staff, like nurses, which is very relevant) even though it requires a lot of specific knowledge that other staff don't have as well as certification. I was already certified and had experience. Most people don't know this type of job exists at all, so that's uncommon.
I was trained at a hospital and worked there from September through December of 2017. However, they wanted to pay me state minimum wage even after I got certified, so I found a surgery center that offered me $5 more per hour and worked there for a year and a half. Got sick of that place. This is when this interview took place. My resume was honest, including why I left the first job (I realize that was a mistake).
The thing that really stands out is when the interviewer (a nurse, who happened to be the dept. manager for some stupid reason) asked me how long I worked at [hospital] while looking at my resume. My resume clearly lists that I worked there from September through December of the same year, but I just said, “a few months.”
Clearly irritated, she responded, “your resume says September of 2017 through December of 2017. That seems longer than a few months, don't you think?” Ah, yes. Four months, not a few months. She caught me! I'm a dirty liar!
Then towards the end she noted that I left the hospital because of pay, and she said, “I don't know what you're expecting. You have to understand, it's [dept. name].” And then she told me the company's minimum wage. What the fuck. Did that really have to be so condescending?
And it was actually a few four dollars more than what the hospital paid me, but I didn't bother telling her that.
