The interview process doesn’t have to be intimidating! At Encompass Health, we want to see you succeed, and being prepared is the key to making a great impression. Our recruiters have shared their best tips to guide you through the process with confidence, so you can land the healthcare job you’ve been striving for. It all begins with the initial phone interview—so let’s dive in!

• First impressions matter! Be on time, be professional, and choose a quiet location free from distractions for your call. If you’re invited to a virtual interview, treat it as you would an in-person meeting—dress professionally and ensure your background is tidy and professional. Log on a few minutes early to test your microphone and camera to avoid any last-minute technical issues. These small steps show that you’re serious about the opportunity and ready to bring your best self to the conversation.
  
• Do your homework: Take time to research Encompass Health and familiarize yourself with who we are and our history. Review the job description in detail and think about how your skills align with the role. Be ready to discuss specific experiences that showcase your qualifications. Coming prepared with thoughtful questions also demonstrates your genuine interest in joining our team and sets you apart from other candidates.
  
• Keep the Communication Flowing: Transparency goes a long way in the hiring process. If you need to reschedule, let us know as soon as possible. And if you’ve accepted another offer, withdrawing from the process is not only professional but leaves a positive impression should you want to apply again in the future when the time is right. Staying engaged with our recruiters ensures a smooth experience for everyone involved.
