Turn a new leaf with our top five interview tips this fall
Interviews can be a little nerve-wracking, whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned professional. With a competitive job market, nailing that interview can be the key to landing your dream job. At Northwell, we’d like to provide you with essential tips for both first-time and more experienced interviewees, covering both in-person and virtual settings. By following these tips, you’ll be better prepared and more confident, increasing your chances of securing the position you want and starting your new career journey, this fall.
Research the company
Understanding the company you’re interviewing with is crucial. Start by exploring the company’s website to learn about its mission, values, culture and stay up to date on recent news. This will showcase your genuine interest in the company and help you tailor your answers to align with their goals.
 |
Pro tip:Go beyond the basics and look into the company’s strategic initiatives, recent projects and industry standing. Utilize the company’s LinkedIn page to find connections within the organization and learn about some of the experiences their team members have had with career growth and workplace culture. This deeper insight can help you better understand if this is a company that interests you as well. |
Virtual Tip: Keep a few notes written in front of you during virtual interviews to refer to, if needed. This can help you seamlessly integrate your research into the conversation without appearing distracted.
Practice common interview questions
Familiarize yourself with common interview questions and rehearse your answers with a friend or family member. Prepare for questions like, “Tell me about yourself,” “Why do you want to work here?” and “What are your strengths and weaknesses?” Practicing these will help you build confidence.
|
Pro tip:While you might be familiar with common interview questions, focus on articulating your experiences and achievements clearly. Using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method, you can structure your answers to demonstrate your problem-solving abilities and share successes. |
Virtual Tip: Record yourself answering questions to evaluate your body language and tone. This practice can help you adjust your delivery for a better presentation during the LIVE interview.
Dress appropriately
Your appearance is the first impression you make. Always aim for wearing professional attire that aligns with the company’s culture. When interviewing, business attire is generally appropriate.
|
Pro tip:Even for virtual interviews, dressing professionally can put you in the right mindset. |
Virtual Tip: Choose a neutral, clutter-free background for virtual interviews. Lighting should come from in front of you, not behind you – and a quiet environment with no one else in the room also contributes to a professional impression. Don’t forget to test out your devices before the interview begins to ensure your camera and microphone are working properly.
Ask thoughtful questions
Prepare a list of questions to ask your interviewer about the role, team and company culture. Your questions should reflect your depth of understanding about the role you are interviewing for. This shows your enthusiasm and helps you gauge if the company is the right fit for you.
|
Pro tip:Inquire about the company’s strategic goals, how your role would contribute to these goals and opportunities for professional development. This demonstrates your forward-thinking approach and genuine interest. |
Virtual Tip: Keep your questions concise and relevant to avoid time lags that can occur in virtual settings.
Follow-up via email after the interview
Sending a follow-up email within 24-hours after the interview is essential to maintain momentum and show your eagerness in the role. In this note, thank the interviewer for their time and reiterate your interest in the position. Mention a specific topic from the interview that you enjoyed to make your email more personal and memorable.
|
Pro tip:Your follow-up should be more strategic. Besides thanking the interviewer, briefly summarize how your skills and experiences make you the ideal candidate. Highlight any new insights gained during the interview and how they reinforce your enthusiasm for the role. |
Virtual Tip: Avoid attaching emojis, memes and photos in the email to maintain professionalism.
These tips can be helpful to significantly enhance your interview preparation and performance, in both in-person and virtual settings. By demonstrating your knowledge, confidence and genuine interest you can set yourself apart from other candidates. Incorporate these strategies and you’ll be well on your way to landing your next job opportunity.

Prioritizing self-care at Northwell Health
At Northwell Health, the well-being of our team members is a top priority. We have over 100 wellness programs designed to help our team members and their families build healthy habits, manage stress, sleep better, strengthen their fiscal responsibility and plan self-care.
One of the many ways Northwell supports the well-being of our team members is through our annual Go for the Gold Paris Movement Challenge. Each year, our Team Member Wellness team features a different destination to help employees learn more about different locations throughout the world. This year was unique because instead of highlighting a specific country as a destination, the team highlighted the venues of the Paris Olympic games. In 2024, more than 3,500 teams made up of 19,100+ team members competed in the challenge. Each team of up to six colleagues had six weeks to walk approximately two million steps collectively to reach the final Olympic venue. Ten teams overall were selected – such as the CLI Steppin’ Squad and the Hot Chili Steppers, among the rest — with each participant receiving a $5,000 prize.
This initiative motivates team members to build in movement while working as a team. The encouragement to stay active and make healthier choices has a ripple effect, inspiring family and friends to join in and help motivate our participants. Team members are incentivized to get active not only by tracking steps with a wearable device, but by leveraging an app for tracking healthier habits, like a device-free bedtime routine and drinking enough water daily.
“The Go for the Gold Paris 2024 movement challenge is a fun way to bond with my team and compete against other teams from my hospital. I like that all teams that cross the finish line are eligible to win the grand prize, and your team doesn’t have to come in first place overall.”
– Karyn, Registered Nurse, Zucker Hillside Hospital
From walks outdoors during lunch to gathering with friends on days off, our teams found fun ways to get their steps in while gaining more exercise and energy, developing healthy habits and improving mental health. In addition, for our remote team members, it provides a unique chance to connect with their teammates even if not in person.
