We rely on a strong work ethic, based on the belief that personal achievement within teamwork is the key to success. Flexibility is a major component of the Banner Health System and we are able to run our facilities looking towards the needs of the community we serve.
What can a candidate expect during their interview process?
The candidate will have a private interview with a manager, which could turn into a group interview. Position duties and details are discussed with the candidate. The organization is also discussed in more detail. There are times when the interview begins with a phone interview and can lead to a personal interview. At that time, the candidate is flown in and reimbursed for expenses
What are some common mistakes candidates make when applying for jobs with your facility?
Applicants frequently do not tell us enough about their knowledge, skill, ability and experience. Often they omit identifying certifications they have earned and training they have received. While a candidate may apply for one position, we may also wish to consider her/him for other positions for which she/he may be qualified.
Most facilities stress only the positive aspects of working for their organization. What are some of the challenges faced by new employees and even experienced personnel?
Within our organization, one has to be conducive towards change. Our organization has evolved and expanded over the years.
