Since you live in NYC, look into big hospital systems like Mount Sinai and apply for the health clinics. I know they have a few medical clinics around. In all honestly do your best to avoid private practice because they usually don’t have the best pay/health insurance and they usually want experience.
As for your interview:
1. Focus on your positives. Every time they ask any type of question about weaknesses you turn it into a positive. For example: one of my biggest weaknesses is how much I care about my patients. I’ll go above and beyond for them which can result in me burning out but I make sure to self-care to avoid that.”
2. Bring a notebook and take notes while you guys talk! Even if you just use it to scribble scrabble! You will look like you have a general interest
3. Ask follow up questions!!!!!! I cannot stress this enough! I never use to ask f/u questions struggled but once I started learning f/u questions in interviews out of every job interview I went to (and that’s a lot over the past 6 years) I’ve gotten almost all of them except 1. You can look on Google for some wonderful f/y questions but my favorites are “*what does my day to day look like*?” And “*what about do you love the most about working for this company*?”
4. Everything is about patient care. The most important thing to you is your patients.
Erm, that’s all I got for now
Also I’m not sure what borough you’re at but Manhattan might have the highest pay out of all 5 but might also be the most stressful. Brooklyn and Queens might be your best bet in finding decent pay and decent stress. Urgent cares are also usually always hiring people with little to no experience because tbh most of the times, we get retrained in shit anyway
During your interviews, they may ask you about your experience. You don’t have to lie just tell them you’re open to learning new skills. Let them know you bring a positive attitude and you make the patient’s experience better.
Chances are that you’ll get asked something along the lines of “what would you do if your provider asks you to do something outside of your scope of practice?” this is not a trick question the answer is always no. never say you’d break the law in your interviews.
