If MediClinic hired you today, what would you accomplish first?
When starting this position with MediClinic, knowing how you will positively impact the company after being hired is essential. This question is delicate, and you need to show respect for the onboarding process, then give a moderately ambitious project or goal. This concept is often called your 'value proposition' in marketing. Remember, this is your campaign promise. If you are the candidate selected to join the MediClinic team, it will likely be your first target to hit, and, depending on the environment, it could make or break you. The best approach is to give a functional analysis of the employers' needs and your skills. Tell the interviewer your impact goal, should you be a successful candidate. Be sure to refer to the immediate needs of MediClinic, such as positively improving patient care.
"When we spoke earlier, you mentioned that you urgently sought to improve patient care and compassion at this facility. I want to offer my skills in building patient rapport and help improve the satisfaction of everyone that uses the services of MediClinic. I would plan to make a positive impact very quickly by leading by example on my team to provide excellent patient care. Having been a preceptor in previous roles, I would love to be able to pass along my knowledge to others on my team."
"If I were fortunate enough to join the MediClinic team, my goals would be to master the EHR and get to know all staff I'd be working with. I am fully confident in my ability to provide great patient care; the only piece I would need to learn is charting within the EHR system. I would soak in all I could over my initial orientation period, ask people questions, and be open and willing to train extra to hit the ground running with patients."
If the interviewer mentioned something the company would like to improve upon, it is best to say that would be what you would like to accomplish first. For example, if the interviewer mentioned they would like to improve inventory management, you can describe how you would help manage their inventory.
