At Austin Health we take pride in our great relationships with clients, vendors, coworkers, and patients. Do you consider yourself to be a strong relationship builder?

"I have earned compliments on my relationship-building skills. I am a strong relationship builder and take pride in my 'people skills'. I like to get to know people and ask them questions about themselves. Most people love to talk about themselves, and I find it's a great and simple way to start building rapport with others. Rest assured, I would be a great ambassador of positive relationships for Austin Health if chosen for the position."

"I am happy to hear that Austin Health values long-term relationships. This fact is a bonus for me, and it's one of the reasons I chose to work in the medical field. I like working in an industry where genuine care is valued. Healthcare is not a place for gimmicks because health is precious and irreplaceable. I've had success in University and my internships by focusing on building a reputation for consistency and follow-up and treating everyone the same way I would like my family to be treated. What you describe is a good fit for me, and I'd like to represent a company that wants to create long-term sustainable partnerships."

When you describe the different ways you build and maintain workplace relationships, the interviewer can see that you have the interpersonal skills they seek in a candidate. It is also a great idea to mention how you treat everyone the same way you want your loved ones to be treated, showing sincerity and compassion.
