title: Hiring case managers: the role of the candidate and the interviewer.
abstract: Interviewing for a job and conducting an interview are two challenging tasks nurse case managers experience at some point in their nursing career. One way to overcome such challenges is through learning more about the interview process. For the nurse case manager, the reward of interviewing well is getting hired for the job; for the interviewer, it is selecting the best candidate for the job. In this article, the author discusses the roles of the candidate and the interviewer in the interview process. It provides those interested in becoming nurse case managers with tips, skills, and strategies for assuring a successful interview. It also presents administrators of case management programs with beneficial recommendations for improving their interviewing skills. In addition, it discusses the interview process for potential candidates for nursing case management roles from the time of preparing the resume and cover letter until after the interview is completed.
