cbaldwin Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi all! Congratulations to everyone for the invite!! Looking forward to meeting everyone. I’m hopeful we can all get together at some point the day or evening before so there will be some familiar faces on interview day. Also excited there are some locals in the group and some who have interviewed before! Anxious to learn from you! Figure we can use this forum to communicate and prep for the interview!

actionphilosopher Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Thank for starting this thread. I found a PDF/PPT that appears to describe the format of the interview conference. I found it very useful. T217.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrePA98 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thank you for setting this thread up. I am excited about this opportunity. Have out of town people book at the hotel where the interview is to take place? I'll be coming in from New Mexico on the 27th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbelista Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Congrats everyone on the interview invite!! I am very interested in meeting up with people before the interview. I am local and have interviewed for MEDEX last cycle so I am definitely crossing my fingers for a better outcome this year. Excited to meet everyone!

I interviewed last year and I heard of several people who stayed at that hotel where the interviews took place. Very convenient so you're not rushing through traffic to get there on interview day. I'm just not sure of the cost per night or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionphilosopher Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Congrats again to everyone making it this far. Several people have expressed interest in meeting up the day or evening before. I think this is a great idea so we can see some friendly faces and share any interview tips. There is a restaurant Costa's about a 10 min walk up the hill from the interview hotel. If other people would like to meet, I will be there starting at 6pm and holding a table. Come have dinner or a coffee with me. Please let me know in this thread so I can make sure to hold a big enough table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson26tck Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Hello everyone and congrats on the interview. I am coming from San Diego on the 27th, and I looked into staying at the hotel where the interview will take place. It was around $165 a night. I got my invitation on Tuesday. Good luck to everyone who is interviewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbaldwin Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 How's everyone's interview prep going? Any advice or recommendations for resources? I've been reading Savannah Perry's interview book and doing podcasts/YouTube videos every time I commute to work. Either that or practicing my answers out loud. I was thinking about doing one of the mock interviews through The PA Platform or The PA Life. Does anybody have experience with either of their services? Thanks everyone. Hope your prep is going well, and can't wait to meet everyone soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't made official travel plans yet (waiting on my paycheck and deciding if I should bring/leave the family) but should definitely be there! I'll give you an official confirmation once I book my travel in the next few days. Thanks for setting a time/place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schmetterling Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Howdy all and congratulations! We've made it to the final step!! Woohoo!! I think it's a grand idea to meet the afternoon/night before the interview on Friday. I'm not really a local, but have lived here for 3 years. I live around the area where the interview will be held and there are many places we could meet, chat and get to know one another. Depends on what y'all are thinking/looking for. I interviewed last cycle as well and I'd be glad to give out the pointers I wrote down (that the MEDEX staff told us), along with the questions they asked my group of interviewees. AKJustinS, thank you for the helpful information and good vibes! I got the email to interview on Tuesday. Happy interview prepping all and excited to meet everybody either the day before or the day of the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionphilosopher Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Its great to hear so many people want to meet up the night before. Since no one is objecting to my plan of Costa's I figured I would post the details again. Costa's Restaurant, 4559 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105 https://www.facebook.com/costasontheave 6pm I will call in the next few days to let them know and reserve a table. I look forward to meeting everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
