About your past
Why does marketing and community relations for a small rural hospital in Friendship interest you?
What they are checking: Whether they have a real reason to want this work in a small community, not just any internship.
Tell me about something you wrote that had to get a specific group of people to do something. How did it turn out?
What they are checking: Whether they write with a clear audience and goal in mind, which is the core of hospital communications.
Tell me about an event you helped plan. What part did you own, and what went wrong?
What they are checking: Whether they have handled real logistics and can stay calm and fix problems when an event does not go to plan.
Tell me about a time you had several small tasks from different people at once. How did you decide what to do first?
What they are checking: Whether they can juggle requests from marketing, foundation and staff recognition without letting anything drop.
What would you do
You'll be working with local businesses and donors. How would you approach a local business owner you've never met to ask them to support a hospital event?
What they are checking: Whether they can represent the hospital professionally and respectfully to people who give their time and money.
Patient privacy matters a lot in a hospital. If you were taking photos for a newsletter and a patient was in the background, what would you do?
What they are checking: Whether they think about consent and privacy before posting, which matters far more in healthcare than in other marketing.
This role is about 15 hours a week. How would you fit it around your classes and other commitments?
What they are checking: Whether they have a realistic plan for a part-time schedule and will be reliable week to week.
How would you come up with an idea for an employee recognition activity that staff would actually enjoy?
What they are checking: Whether they would ask staff what they value instead of guessing, and think about people working different shifts.
About the work
If we asked you to write a short social media post promoting a free community health event at the hospital, what would you include?
What they are checking: Whether they can write clearly and briefly with the details people actually need, like date, place and who it is for.
What tools have you used for design, social media or writing, and what would you want to learn here?
What they are checking: Whether they are honest about their current skills and curious enough to grow during the internship.
