What To Expect During the Hiring Process

We regularly host career fairs for full-time, part-time and per diem positions at Anna Jaques. During these events, we offer information about open opportunities and conduct on-site interviews. If you attend a career fair, bring two hard copies of your resume along with a list of references.

Per diem means “per day.” Per diem jobs offer you the opportunity to be on staff at the hospital without the commitment of a full-time or part-time schedule. We schedule per diem employees as needed and they are not eligible to receive benefits. 

After you apply online, our recruitment staff will review your application promptly. We’ll contact you within approximately two weeks if you meet the desired position’s qualifications, required skills and experience.
