At the heart of this question, your interviewer will be looking to gauge your accountability when you are tasked with something that falls out of your regular job duties. Interior Health Authority values integrity in the workplace and the organization expects employees to be accountable for their actions. In your answer, talk about a situation that demonstrates your ability to be held accountable when you've been asked to work outside of your normal duties. If you can, talk about communication you had with your leadership or team to learn about the situation and then talk about what you learned from the situation to paint the full picture for your interviewer.

"In my current role as a Health Unit Coordinator in the Emergency Room setting, I get asked to help fill in for shifts in surgery and on the hospital floors if we are short staffed. In these times, I often have to think on my feet to learn the new departments and I what I need to do to be effective. When I work on a new unit, I talk with as many people as I can to learn what is expected of me because what us HUC's do on different units can vary greatly. While doing this can be stressful, I f id that I learn a lot and that helps me become a much better employee in the end."
