Hello folks!
I have a job interview via telephone this afternoon in several hours
The job I am applying for has two positions open, one for a dentist, and another, for a dental hygienist. Interestingly, in the same jobs listing site, the leaving Dentist is advertising HE is searching for a job.

Basically, it looks like there was a big cleanout, with either a bad admin/new policies running off the staff, or, conversely, bad staff, jumping off the ships like rats. It's hard to tell.

How does one (or do you?) attempt to address this in the interview? "Hey- noticed your staff bailed? Looks like there has been a recent staff turnaround. What gives?" or is this a verboten subject?

I jokingly have half a mind to call the leaving dentist as he is advertising himself on the same public listings site. I think he still works there for the interim. I was wondering if there was a way to speak with him directly. Obviously I wouldn't call him right out. I would want to hear the prospective employer's side first.

But at least for the short term- what is the best way to address/not address this in the telephone interview? Inquiring minds want to know- but also keep it positive.


tia,
Ron
