I got called back for a second interview next Friday! I’m so nervous but your videos really help! Thank you!!☺️💕
Congratulations 🎉 you got this ✊🏾
@@dorcaskaindu7939 thank you!!! That means a lot! 😁
Yaaay! Congratulations, your going to do great!
@@Bigtex0901 no problem
Congrats
"perfectionism" as a weakness is, weak. It's like saying, "my only weakness is that I'm too good." There's no self-reflection in that. This is SUCH a common response to this questions, don't fall into the trap!
i thought the same exact thing
@April 2520 you would pick an actual weakness you have! they’re not necessarily focused on the weakness itself but they’re more focused on how you overcome that weakness :)
I get what you mean. Thank you.
Yes, please don't do what she did. Instead, choose a real weakness and then follow it up by talking about what steps you're taking to improve. That's what adcoms want to see, is that you did some self reflecting and that you're trying to be better
If someone were to say that as an answer, I wouldn’t be surprised if an interviewer would think it’s a joke.
I think a much better answer than just “Try again next year” is something along the lines of: “I’d use this next year to keep learning and diversifying my experiences, focusing on areas of weakness I might have. I’d plan on coming back next year as an even stronger candidate than I am today.”
I am a pre-PA student, so I haven't had the chance to be in the process of applying to PA school just yet. Although, in my opinion, the interviewee didn't expand on some of the questions that were asked to her. I feel like two word answers is too short because it doesn't allow the interviewer to shape a great impression on her. I feel like expanding on some of the questions would help show her personality a little more and show off some communication skills as well. This is just my opinion though. I think she showed great poise throughout the interview and there were no questions that stunned her. Great job!
Thank you again Adanna👍🏾
Your very welcome 🙂
I love the stimulation piece! My interview was about 30 min for both of the PA interviews I went on.
I would say more personality and thought into the answers. You want to be remembered but in a good way.
Being memorable is key when it comes to interviews because they are seeing so many students
Thank you so much for this video!
Welcome
I have my virtual interview in a couple of days, this video made me feel a little bit better. God bless you all and stay safe, never give up on helping others!
Glad it helped!
Did you get in?
@@aarongardner2580 yes, im in my second trimester now
Congratulations! I’m interviewing today lol wish me luck
Adanna thank you some much I love you and all your content. My PA journey is 7 years +but I won't give up until I get into PA SCHOOL. Thank you for guiding pre PA'S like me.
@melanie you're very welcome!
Yaaayy another great video 🤗 very helpful 🙏always love your videos 💕
Thank you for watching!
I thought that was rude that they didn’t shake her hand, but she did a good job
Maybe because of CoVID
Madi B yeah but they didn’t have masks
If you're interviewing hundreds of applicants in a day, imagine how much germs you'd be passing
Covid/medical field. Best not to extend your hand during these times because it will show how conscientious you are about germs.
Definitely thought the same about the rocking in the seat. I also thought she said physician’s assistant so I was like oh no.
I was sooo nervous for my interviews. Actually the two interviews I was least nervous on were the two schools I got accepted to so I always try to be confident!
Do you think you could maybe do some videos on job interviews after PA school? I know you’re really busy with this that you are doing but it would be great as well especially during Covid. I’m so nervous for interviews. Or maybe on negotiating. Like how it looks like for a PA job.
yes rocking the chair seemed wrong at least now I know what to avoid for my interview.
Wait they ask how do you intend to pay for school.....im not prepared for that question
She did reveal some things about herself like her planning and hobbies but I feel like we didn’t really get to see who she is as a person. I especially feel like her response to the why PA question, anyone could give that response.
Agreed. I think the benefit of having these simulations is that we can hone our interviewing skills we can see things that work and things that don't work and we can also see ourselves in some of these people we can see how we may react to certain things or how we may look in the eye of an interviewer and then choose to adjust those
@@AdannaThePA I agree! Great work Adanna!
@@JG-cy2wf Thanks for the words of encouragement.
First interview ever is next week !! So nervous
Sending prayers up for you
This was so much fun! :) Are you all nervous (or were you nervous) for your PA School Interview?
I think I'll be nervous and I'm really bad about figitting!
That looks hella scary lmao. Applying in the spring next year.
Jk I didn’t watch the whole thing, but after watching it all it looks doable
@@MoonlitWaterLillies At least you know that and now you can be more vigilant in not allowing that to be at the forefront of your interview.
@@paulleewnnacrckr You'll be fine!
I am struggling with LORs from PAs. I work in a Nursing home, but the highest person I interact with is an RN. Any ideas on how I can get those? I want to apply next cycle.
So althought all do not need to be from a PA at least one does. GTCU got you covered.
is it just me who thinks shaking the chair like that is a no no the way she is rotating the chair left and right and answering... I wouldn't do that
Did you even watch the video? She said that it wasn’t a good idea..
I tend to rock in my chair/fidget when I'm anxious. I never realized how unprofessional it looks to other people
Do you think the responses to the questions were too short?
It all depends on the time you have some interviews with the professors are literally anywhere from 7-10 mins you want it to be concise and to the point
Dam, I got an anxiety attack just listening to their questions 😭
Chile these interviews are no joke but you have to be confident during them or you will crash and burn.
Online degree getting into pa school video please ❤️
I have to do some research on this but I'll get it done.
Why would praise the perfectionist comment, that was an awful answer
am i the only who thinks her answers were kinda bland. it just seems like she didn’t put much thought into it and wasn’t really prepared
It wasn’t memorable
This is a 4/10 interview at best
Are PA school interviews normally this short?
Lol no there will be several rounds of these one in one interviews
She’s sitting... weirdly for an interview. She’s saying “physician’s assistant” instead of “physician assistant”...
Physician Assistant. NOT physician's assistant.
Im sorry but DO NOT say physicians assistant. It makes you look like you dont care enough to learn the name
Why do they have interviews for PA school? I think they are attempting to add a level of importance to this than is necessary. Do PA's serve an important function? Yes they do but there was a time this field didn't exist and doctors were just fine.
How do you go about getting scholarships and grants if you're not in PA school yet? I mean, usually scholarships would like to know where you're going and especially grants before they give you money. Are all interviews like this? and short also?
All interviews aren't like this this is just a sample of what your interview may be like. As far as grants and scholarships, you honestly just have to research and apply. That's kinda all you can do and if you're elegible they'll let you know
Are the interviews really that quick?
Not usually in my experience. I feel like the minimum we’re about 10 minutes but it’s hard to remember because you’re nervous. But it varies by school.
Also this is only one part of an interview. Interview day usually lasts 3-6 hours. Most of mine included individual interview, group interview, tour of the school, financial aid info, and an essay.
@@MHSMagicLuver ah I see. Thanks for the info
@@alialgabri21 you’re welcome! I’m a new grad PA-C. Been through 6 interviews so I was just adding my experience :)
@@MHSMagicLuver oh wow!! Congratulations!!!!
@@alialgabri21 thank you!
The first thing I noticed from this video was that her head is tilted and she is spinning her body on the chair while answering. Did she not learn how to respond professionally? lol If I were the interviewer, I'd had tossed her application straight to the trashcan.
Just disgusting. Body language say’s it all. The swinging in the chair, slouching and leaning in the chair, appearance looks kind of sloppy, etc. her answers could have been expanded more with the “why”. She have shown everyone what not to do!
This interview seems kinda weak to me in both body language and responses. Highly doubt this would get anyone accepted.
