While having previous experience as a supervisor may not be required for the job for which you are applying, having that type of experience could tell the interviewer some things about your work ethic. Share your experience, and if you've never been a supervisor, be sure to include your strengths as part of your answer.

"Up to this point in my career, I have not taken on a supervisory role. I enjoy the one on one interaction with my patients and always felt like if I took a supervisor position I may miss out on that part of the job. I can see where, in time, I may choose to seek a different role. For now, though, I am happy to be in a more 'hands-on' role."

"I worked as a shift supervisor at my previous job. It was a great opportunity and I really enjoyed what I did there. I know many people who say once they've worked as a supervisor they wouldn't want to step down from that type of position. For me, it's not about the title I wear but the difference I can make. It takes a group of different people with different skills to make a healthcare team work. I just want to do my part in any way I can."
