Hi Maly. Sorry, I'm just seeing this. First, awesome news that your husband has the interview! And not to worry. If his experience outside healthcare was a MAJOR concern to them, they wouldn't be interviewing him. So, on paper, they already think he can do the job. But you're right, they may ask. My recommendation is 1) he needs to REALLY know his strengths, how he can specifically help them (drawing on the experience he does have), and what he offers that's unique. He might be competing against other candidates who do have healthcare experience, so he's got to offer more than them. In fact, his experience in other industries can even be perceived as a strength if he rames it right and is specific in what he can bring from that experience. And 2) if they are concerned he doesn't fully know the healthcare world inside and out, he can stress that he also didn't know his previous industry when he started there either. If they bring it up, he could say something like "When I joined [previous industry] I was new to that indsutry too, and it took me no time at all to get up to speed and you've seen in my resume the kind of resuits I got there. Same is true with the industry before that when I started there. The skills and experience I bring doing ___ and ___ and ___ [insert top things they're looking for] is the real key, despite the industry. I know how to do ___ and I'm really excited to apply it here." You get the idea. Remember, they already think he can do it, they might just want to meet him and make certain the lack of healthcare experience isn't a major red flag. If he's confident, impresses with what he CAN do and puts all worry aside that he can apply it to healthcare, he'll be fine. Wish him luck!!
