Sophia Beach in Chicago, Illinois 56 months ago	Lacey laramie in Checotah, Oklahoma said: I was wondering what do u wear on a job interview for a cna Lacey & whom ever else, I asked this same question some months ago but to no avail. I bought a skirt suit, very professional which I would like to wear. I am a bit concerned that I would be over dressed. I would also really appreciate some tips about any common questions asked at interviews. I haven't sent my resume out at all. I am working however, I am very unhappy at this job. It is dead end and gives me no satifaction, as a CNA job would. Good Luck to you and contact me if you recieve any insight. Thanks, Sophia Beach, Chicago. - Was this comment helpful?

Lacey laramie in Checotah, Oklahoma 56 months ago	i think then u should wear something that says you are a hard worker and not afraid to learn something new - Was this comment helpful? Yes (4) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse
Sophia Beach in Chicago, Illinois 56 months ago	What would that be? Casual, neat, on the conservative side. Nothing too dressed, as for a corporate job?? I think I agree. Thanks for the suggestion. I am beginning my CNA job search this coming week. Wish me luck! PS Any other tips and/or suggestions will be appreciated. Sophia, Chicago - Was this comment helpful?

Sophia Beach in Chicago, Illinois 56 months ago	To Rene in Wisconsin. Actually I lived on the east side while I went to QHO in Wauwatosa and I do not have a car either. I would take 2 buses. Oakland bus to downtown, off at Wisconsin Ave. Then there is a bus which goes west,down Wisc.Ave,zig-zags around and leaves you off directly in front of QHO in Wauwatosa. Give them a call they will tell you exactly which bus drops you off in front. Also call Milwaukee Co. transit system,they will give you the most direct route for you.

Sophia Beach in Chicago, Illinois 56 months ago	Rene, I am surprised that they aren't giving CNA classes anymore.

caitlindare in Arlington, Virginia 35 months ago	To those wanting to wear white or scrubs to an interview, please don't. Yes, you may wear them every day if you get the job, but when you are interviewing you want to show the company that you are a professional and serious about working for them. Nice slacks and a dress shirt should be fine, a suit may be overkill but I don't think it would hurt you. Some questions I experienced while interviewing for a CNA position (in Texas and Virginia) are things like: why do you want to work in health care? If patients were customers, do you think the customer is always right? What do you do when someone is angry with you (you may have to work with senile patients) What would you do in a situation you were not familiar with? Who do you call in an emergency? The Family? The Agency? 911? And many other work-related questions relating to safety and whatnot. Be confident in yourself. If you know you can do this job and you think that you and the company are a great match, show it to the interviewer. Good posture, eye contact, and a firm handshake are some of the most important tools in an interview. And always be polite (please, thank you, you're welcome...)! Try not to use slang and 'like' and 'uh' and 'um'. Practice talking without those for an hour beforehand, its hard... but it makes you sound so much more professional! One last thing... always send a thank you letter after the interview. It may seem old fashioned, but it will help you stand out in a sea of applicants. Seriously. Do it. - Was this comment helpful?

Are there common interview questions that come up again and again? If you are applying in the medical field, including CNA, acceptable dress for an interview is your scrubs! Its worked for me every time. Dont over complicate it! - Was this comment helpful? Yes (8) / No (6) Reply - Report abuse

Are there common interview questions that come up again and again? Dress Code: Do not Wear scrubs. Yes, people do get hired in scrubs, maybe because there are few other applicants, or they are the most qualified. I bet if there are two equally qualified candidates the one in a professional outfit will get it over the one in scrubs. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
