The interviewer would like to discover more about your day-to-day roles, responsibilities, structure, and pace. If you are coming from another healthcare organization, it's likely similar to what would be required in this position with the Cleveland Clinic; however, it's important to describe in detail what your activities look like. Consider whether you spend time on the phone, maintaining medical records, scheduling appointments, performing laboratory duties or tasks, or seeing patients. Read the job description thoroughly, and discuss the areas of responsibility you have experience in and perform daily. Keep a positive tone as you describe what your current role entails each day, and refrain from complaining about certain duties or feeling overwhelmed by the day-to-day tasks.

"I currently work in a community pharmacy, so my day is usually very busy and I'm multitasking to complete different priorities. I typically answer the phones, enter in new prescription requests, work the pick-up window and sometimes handle the check-out process. Throughout the day, I'm also assisting customers with questions, updating patient information on the computer, follow-up with general practitioner offices to gather information and process prescriptions."

"In my current role, I have many various responsibilities. I perform and record clinical observations and vitals such as blood pressure, temperature, respirations, and pulse. I also discuss and share information with registered nurses on patients' conditions, behaviors, activities, and responses. As a nursing assistant, I also interact with patient families, providing updates when necessary and education on certain illnesses, diagnoses, or conditions. Lastly, I help answer patient call lights, provide care and assistance with ADLs, and ensure the privacy and safety of patients at all times."
