Preparation is “Key”…

You might ask yourself the following questions: “How do I prepare for the interview?” and “What do I need to do to prepare for an interview?” These are great questions to think about once you are contacted for an interview. There are a couple of tips that might help with these questions:
1.) “Research”- researching the organization helps to show your interest and boosts credibility with the interviewer.
2.) “Directions, Directions, Directions”- Make sure that you know how long it will take you to arrive at the interview and how to get there. Be sure to get the contact name and number of the representative you are meeting with.
3.) “Look your BEST”- present in a professional manner with neat, pressed attire. Regardless of the position that you are interviewing for, “Dress your Best.”
4.) “Be Prompt”- arrive at least 10-15 minutes early for the interview. Make sure you turn your cell phones off prior to your arrival.
5.) “Sell Yourself”- the interview is your chance to “shine” or sing your praises. Make sure to present in confidence your strengths and abilities that would set you apart from other candidates.

Please refer to our website www.tannerjobs.org for more tips on preparing for the interview.
Preparation is the “Key” that could land you the job!

Dress for Success!

A good all-purpose guideline is to look professional and responsible.  People should make their own choices about what to wear as long as it reflects a positive image of the employer.

If you’ve been selected for an interview, then you’ve already met the initial challenge of having proven your credentials as a promising candidate for a position. In order to secure a desired position, applicants should always project an outward appearance that builds both their own self-confidence and a level of confidence in those they serve. The next few steps in the employment process should be just as important for applicants to accomplish as the first one.

Looking the part is always a step in the right direction so, with that in mind, here is a list of acceptable and unacceptable characteristics for applicants and employees to pay attention to at all times. Acceptable characteristics include, but are not limited to, a neat and tidy appearance, good personal hygiene and grooming, pressed and unwrinkled clothing, minimal fragrance amounts; jewelry or other accessories in moderation. On the other hand, unacceptable characteristics would include dangling jewelry, distracting and/or revealing clothing and visible body piercings/tattoos.

Why Not Me?




One of the questions we, the recruiters, get quite often is, “Why wasn't I considered for this position?” Some positions may require prior medical experience while others require specific educational and/or licensure requirements. Did you know that we receive a large number of applications? As a matter of fact, in the last 30 days, we received more than 1,200 applications; therefore, we are unable to interview each applicant who applies. However, we encourage applicants to apply for positions that meet their basic qualifications. Tanner Health System strives for excellence and we are looking for the most qualified job seekers out there. Please refer to our "FAQs" (Frequently Asked Questions) for more information regarding our interview process. Should you have a question regarding the status of your application please refer to our website at http://www.tannerjobs.org/, click on "Apply Now!" and then click “Log In Now” followed by “Application History.”
