I've spent many years supporting recruitment with different healthcare organizations, and hiring managers want candidates with a deep passion for their work. Loma Linda University Medical Center has ensured this with its current workforce of over 16,000 people and will continue to do so with all of its future hires. This question about your motivation to pursue your career path allows you to discuss your passion for your work.

"My passion for helping and serving others started through volunteer work in middle and high school. When I was 17, I got my CNA certification and began working in skilled nursing facilities. I love caring for and learning from the patients I care for, and that passion hasn't dwindled over the last ten years. I look forward to bringing this passion to the Loma Linda University Medical Center team."

If you experienced something in your past that made you appreciate a healthcare provider, share that experience. This is a perfect opportunity for the interviewer to know you and what motivates you, so take advantage of that as you answer.
