The hiring manager wants to see if you consider yourself a compassionate person since DaVita values helping others improve their health and well-being and care deeply about those they serve. DaVita wants to hire like-minded healthcare professionals, so the hiring manager will ask you if you are compassionate to determine if you will be a good fit for the team.

Assure the hiring manager you are a compassionate person. You can say you are a compassionate person, but giving an example of a time you helped others is a better way to let the interviewer know. For example, you can describe your volunteer experience, how you took care of an elderly relative, held the hand of dying patients, or comforted a grieving family member. Give an example that shows you have compassion for others.

"Yes, I am a very compassionate person and have been my entire life. I was always the one to bring home stray animals and give my lunch to others who were less fortunate than me. I believe you need to be compassionate and empathetic to work in this field and feel honored to have the opportunity to provide compassion to my patients and their family members."
