We often hear that VA interviews can feel a little awkward—and we get it! Just remember: the purpose of this interview is to give the hiring manager a better sense of who you are beyond your resume. It’s one piece of your overall application that helps the facility determine if you're a strong fit for their unit.
To make the most of this opportunity, keep these tips in mind:
Read the instructions carefully before you begin.
Choose a quiet, interruption-free space to record your responses. If your audio is unclear or disrupted by background noise, the interview may need to be redone—which could affect your chances of moving forward.
Have your Trusted profile and skills checklists handy so you can easily reference your work history and confidently speak to your experience.
Let your personality and professionalism shine. This is your chance to make a positive impression through your voice and presence.
Complete the interview promptly. You have 24 hours to submit it, but the sooner you complete it, the sooner AMN can move your application forward.
