Jaymie Payne is passionate about talent acquistion and has nine years of experience in corporate and healthcare recruitment.

The interviewer would like to get to know more about you. Give an overview of how you got into healthcare, your education and experience, your current role, and what brings you to the interview with UHN. Engage the interviewer by telling your story with enthusiasm! Consider sharing a skill you developed that will be useful for this position. Avoid giving too many personal details (marital status, how many children you have, your religion, etc.), and try to keep your answer brief (no more than a couple of minutes).

"A bit about me - I love to travel, read, and conduct research. I spent the past few months traveling the world with Doctors Without Borders. It was the best experience that I could have given myself as I was able to learn so much from seeing how the rest of the world lives. I returned to the US just last month and had been actively looking for new work for the past couple of weeks. I am eager to getting into the routine of a career again."
