What would this job entail?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I graduated from UVA last year with a degree in Visual Arts. I've been working on my personal art portfolio while working on a farm in New England for the past year while occasionally applying to a couple of jobs here and there. My parents are not wealthy (which I know is unusual for someone in my situation), and they were frustrated at me for not having a "real" career. We got into a huge argument last month when they drove up to New England to visit me and made fun of my "weird little house on the prairie" lifestyle. I was really hurt by this, which fueled me to apply to more office jobs to start a "real" career.

My childhood best friend's older brother works at a health tech-related start up in San Francisco and gave me a referral to a job opening at his company. I have a very short first-round interview next week for the job below:

Does anyone know what this job would entail? I'm so confused reading the description... "optimizing workflows, improving care coordination, supporting innovation, acting as a key liaison, collaborate cross-functionally..."??? It just seems like a bunch of random words to me. What skills should I highlight to show interest in this job? I only really have camp counselor/food service work experience, so I'm a bit confused as to what all of these random office jobs do. Thanks!

That listing is not very clear, so it isn’t just you. I’m guessing it’s some kind of account manager/customer service position.

That’s what I thought as well but I think they have a separate account management/customer service team at this company (??). It also seems like the interview will ask a decent amount of probability/logic questions, which seems relatively rare for an account manager role (?). Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

You are not qualified for this job. Firstly, because you don't know what they want. Secondly, nobody with zero experience will know how to do what they want. Thirdly, they will not give you this job - they are giving you the interview as a favor to the brother.

But the job asks for 0-2 years experience. So no experience qualifies.

I am telling you, they are not going to hire someone to assess for inefficiencies and implement solutions who has zero experience, regardless of what the job posting says.

OP here. That’s what I thought too, but almost all of the people on LinkedIn at this company who have this role are straight out of college.

Make sure you at least know what SQL and and KPIs are. Good luck! Even if you bomb it, every single interview is practice.

YOu are going to be figuring out, using data, how to make physician's lives easier so they can make more sales and prescriptions for weight loss drugs while keeping customers happy and thinking that the doctors are paying full attention to them.

Anything that is annoying or a bottleneck for the doctor or the patient will be fixed.

This sounds about right. But also doesn’t the job description say a STEM degree is required?

BTW OP, your life as it is sounds wonderful. If it’s right for you, maybe also look for ways to supplement that in areas more closely aligned to your talents. Local art teacher (private schools, camps, community art programs, etc), commercial/corporate design/marketing, local art museum staff, online tutoring in your field (see Wyzant and other similar). Good luck!

Follow your heart as long as you can be self-supporting which it sounds like you are so far. Consider teaching art classes or working in a more creative field (graphic design?) while you figure out your next steps. You are only young once. This is the time to explore when you are healthy and have nobody dependent on you.

Keep living your current life OP.

Read the "who you are" and what you are supposed to know how to do already. The interview is a favor. You will hate this job if you get it which you won't.
Start preparing examples from your life that demonstrate your ability and skills in what it says you know and will be doing.
If you can't, well...it will be embarrassing at the interview.
Have you researched the company and what it does?
Look st the other jobs http://job-boards.greenhouse.io/mochihealth
