The interviewer or hiring manager may or may not have your resume or CV in front of them to see your qualifications. They must assume you have the required qualifications for the nursing position, or you would not have made it to the interview. However, they want to hear from you about how you are qualified for the role. Every RN position at the Mayo Clinic will have specific requirements based on the geographical location and department you are interviewing for. Before your interview, review the job description and highlight every certification, experience, degree, and license you possess that makes you qualified for the role.

"I am qualified for the role as I have been a licensed registered nurse for the past three years, maintained my continuing education units, and recently renewed my nursing license and ACLS and BLS certifications. My experience as a nurse in the emergency department allows me to use my critical thinking, leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. I am excited to continue utilizing and enhancing my skills if chosen for this RN position in the emergency department."
