Few tips and tricks that can help immigrant nurses during interviews

Unread post by Kunle Emmanuel »

Interviews can be very overwhelming and Intimidating for immigrant nurses, Differing accents, bad network connections can cause nerves and leave you with jitters’

Here’s a few tips and tricks that you can help make the process go smoothly and make you feel at ease!

Get to know your potential employer, their mission statement, who is in the core leadership team! Most of the time, the question why would you like to join the trust is usually embedded in the Mission statement of the trust! Use it to your advantage

What Skills do you have?
What public health promotion campaigns have you been involved in if any? Blow your horn, that is the time to sell yourself, cite examples of where you have problem solved&showed leadership skills and show them why you are the right person for the role.
Maintain eye contact, body language matters, appear smart and well kept, keep a professional attitude, be open be warm, smile, ask for their names, teach them how to pronounce your name. Be warm and Open!

Try to research the area in which you have applied for, the medications used in that area, Cite examples of how you have improved your professional practise and development, tell them how you relate to that role, what will you bring to that job role

What are your struggles&weakness don’t just highlight them show them how and what you do to improve in those areas! Familiarise yourself with up to date literatures, and use them to back up your answers! Refer to the 4 elements in the NMC Code every now and then in your answers!

Finally ask your potential employer what the plan is for professional development plan for staff, their staffing ratios, career progression rates, budgets for the unit, support for staff during Covid-19, their preceptorship and orientation programmes! Good-luck guys…
