"Throughout my career as a LCSW, being the ultimate team player has been a big key to my success.

      Amanda's Feedback

      This question is a little tricky because it's unclear. It can help to think of it more broadly - going beyond your actual job title to reveal more about how you function within a healthcare team. There are many roles to play on a team and this question is asking about the kind of role you tend to take on when you're part of a team. Do you tend to take on a formal leadership role or tend to lead by example in more of a supportive position? Are you the creative member able to think outside the box or more of a logical analyst able to keep the team on task? You may also excel as an empathetic listener, able to help resolve conflict and build strong relationships. While I've listed several general options here, you don't have to stick to standard role divisions (i.e. leader vs. follower). At the end of the day, many role titles are fluid. It is best to explain clearly what your strengths are and how those strengths would benefit you as a Radiology PA.
