Interview with Hospital for webmaster position?

Hi Everyone, I am currently a webmaster for a large medical practice. I have had this position for 6 years. We have over 130 pages on this site and it offers good information for women of all ages. When I took over the site, we only had about 7 pages total and averaged about 100 page views per month. Now the site receives over 5000 page views per month and is noticed by the Consumer Research Council of America as one of the best women’s sites on the web.





Recently a new hospital in my area purchased the medical practice. The CEO of my practice has referred me to the CEO of the new hospital to be their webmaster. I would create and maintain the hospital and the medical practice’s websites. Though I am so grateful for this opportunity, I am a little intimidated of the interview with the hospital CEO. What are some good points to bring up in the interview on what I can do for the new hospital? What things are key that I should talk about? TY in advance!

Number one, research


Number two, more research.


And finally a plan.





( this may not be as relevant for the health care industry as it would be for other businesses )





Find out all you can about this new hospital, this CEO, what they hope to accomplish from a business perspective , what makes them different, etc. Are they a "baby hospital", "knife %26amp; gun club", "tommy broke his arm" or "Old people storage" type of facility.





You should go into this with as much information as you can get about what makes this place tick, and what their challenges are. You should then come up with a "small" plan on how you think you can address their issues.





Before you show your grand plan and how you'll be the best thing since golf on wednesdays, you should have a few open ended questions you want to ask. Business centric and related to your plan. Avoid anything that sounds like "me me me". Pay, Benefits, etc are later in the process... at this point you should be "What can I do for you".





CEO's should operate above the day to day minutia and won't care about IIS vs apache or PHP vs perl, or the uber coolness of AJAX. Nor will they likely care about web hits, page counts, or web servers you've built.





They will care about how you improved the business at your current position. Interviews at this level are different. You need to be able to demonstrate what you've done in the past and how you helped moved the business forward. You then need to show how you plan to use this experience to meet their needs.





Every time you catch yourself about to go technical, stop and think what the technology did to improve the business. It's the business not the technology that's important.





By technical: upgrades, help desk ticket counts, patches, web pushes, script writing, backups, etc





By business: Availability for users, rapid issue resolution, information sharing, cross team communication, etc








Good Luck.








p.s. There's no such thing as over prepared, over informed, or over dressed when meeting with a corporate officer. Their time is valuable, they'll notice and appreciate the effort.





Re: your update... Never undersell yourself. Ellison and Gates never graduated. Smarts is smarts. Just keep it about how you are looking to help them.
