Healthcare organizations like Loma Linda University Medical Center know that individual jobs can differ from place to place and that culture and workplace environments can as well. Interviewers need to know that candidates are aware of the new job duties and settings they will be entering and that they have a plan to address any shortcomings from the first day on the job.

"As you can see from my resume and what we've discussed, most of my career has been spent with the general adult and geriatric populations as a radiologic technologist. Coming to a great pediatric hospital like Loma Linda University Medical Center has always been a dream of mine, and I hope that my lack of pediatric-focused experience isn't seen as a hindrance. While I'm confident in my x-ray and fluoroscopy skills, my initial focus in my training here will be learning new pediatric techniques and nuances so I can be up and running on my own in a short time."

Before your interview, make sure you take the time to read the job description for the role you are interviewing for and the organization's mission and values. You can surely find one area you will need to get up to speed quickly if you emerge as the top candidate for the job. As you speak openly and honestly about this weakness you have, make sure to have a plan devised for how you will overcome it quickly. Your interviewer will develop respect for you if you do.
