"One of the attractive points of working for Mercy Health is that you care about the growth of your employees. I'm motivated to learn and am looking for a long-term fit. Since I am new to the industry, I see myself over the next 3 to 5 years gaining experience and feeling confident in my skills and patient care. After I feel comfortable with my role, I would like to return to school and receive my master's degree. My longer-term plans are to promote to an administrative position with Mercy Health."

Whatever your 3 to 5-year professional goals are, be sure to say they include Mercy Health.
