It is but the IHS (Indian Health Service) moves like a SLUG and you can't put all your eggs in one basket, man. It is just... You can't.
So I interviewed for the VA substance abuse job and I think it went fine. It was an hour earlier than I thought, but like, well, eh. I was not nervous and I did not have time to be. So yay on that. I think it went pretty fine, performance based interviews aren't really so different from normal ones. I think it went well.. I mean, you know.... Etc. I sell me pretty well. The last question I think I made them laugh a bit, it was like, "Why are you the best candidate for this position." I started out by saying, "Well I have to think this to be effective and there are times I will even tell patients and families this too, "I am awesome." If I don't believe that about myself how can I be an effective clinician and if my clients don't think so, well, how am I going to help them?" Including like, then after that all my relevant credentials training skill enthusiasm, patience etc blah blah blah. I asked some relevant questions and like did fine overall.
I am going to answer that question in that fashion until the day I die. I believe it, so should everyone else because I HAVE to especially with like few resources and whatnot. It is heavily clinical and I would get to do DBT groups I am all OVER that man..
So anyway, whatever. We'll see. In a couple weeks. I just canceled the PA one I was like "I am not moving there and I do not need practice in performance based interviewing it's just like well backwards questions but they are totally normal.
@FranC this is a job I would not mind performing, honestly. I like WV, it's pretty rural but bigger towns are close. I wouldn't have any issues. If they send me a good job offer in a few weeks, that would be okay by me. I might accept I like WV and I would totally be fine. Etc.
