What is the interview process like?
The VCU School of Dentistry interview process begins late September and runs through the following February. There is a break for the Holidays from the second week of December until the first week in January. Interviews occur Monday and Tuesday and begin at 7:30 AM promptly each morning. Each candidate will receive two (2) individual one-on-one interviews. Each interview lasts approximately 30 minutes. The set of interviews is followed by a presentation by our Financial Aid Coordinator. Another senior dental student is assigned to the group interviewing for that day and takes the candidates to lunch and a tour of the campus and dental school. If time is available, the candidates will spend time observing a senior dental student administering care to a patient in the Dental Clinic. The interview process usually concludes before 3:00 PM each day.
Applicants who successfully complete the evaluation process will be invited for an interview with a panel of YWCA staff. This panel usually consists of a Human Resources representative and the director of the specific program for which the position is open. The top candidates are generally asked for a second interview.

Usually you will have a short telephone interview with the Resourcing Officer or the Hiring Manager. If there is still a match, you will be invited for a face-to-face interview. If this stage is also successful, you may then be invited to a second interview with the Hiring Manager. The interview process may require more than one visit to our offices. Certain positions may also require skill testing and background checks prior to employment.
If our Human Resources Department acknowledges an open position that matches your resume, you will be contacted by one of our associates.
