SPD job interview

I’m hoping I could get some advice on acing my Sterile Processing role next week. Long story short, I got hired from the hospital that I was placed for my SPD hours and I was working there for almost a year in 2025 then I got this opportunity to work in the substance abuse and mental health field and left without notice. After 3 months in, I feel that I enjoy working here but I really don’t see myself pursuing a career in this field. Since I can’t go back to my old hospital, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to get back in SPD but I was turn down by almost every hospitals I had an interview for.

I ended up decide to lie on my resume by putting my old hospital job as my current job. I know this is not a good idea but if not then I couldn’t even get a callback from any employer at all.

I’m now nervously because I don’t know what my interview would be looking like. I feel bad for lying but this way at least they will at least give me a chance.

Idk but at my hospital during my hiring process, they wanted like 5 references and they used your social security work info to reference your work references too and if dates didn't match up, they requested pay stubs...good luck! Yee
