      Focus Your Answer On

      You can mention a few personal things about yourself, but it is best to keep most of your response focused on attributes that will benefit the company if they choose to hire you. They want to know what characteristics and qualities you will bring to MedStar Health if hired.

      1st Answer Example

      "A bit about me. I love to travel, read, and conduct research. I spent the past few months traveling the world with Doctors Without Borders. It was the best experience I could have given myself, as I learned so much from seeing how the rest of the world lives. I returned to the US last month and have been actively looking for new work since then. I am eager to get into the routine of a career again."
