Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.

With NYGH's commitment to internal development of its employees, your interviewer is looking to hear what your career goals are. While being honest in your answer, there is a fine line to potentially walk to ensure you don't exclude yourself from consideration for the position you are interviewing for if you indicate that you don't want to be working that particular position. No department manager or leader wants to hire a person that is just simply looking for a foot in the door. If you have higher goals than the job you are interviewing for, talk about how that job is important in your development and how you'll be able to help the goals of the department.

"As a newer graduate in nursing, my ultimate goal for my career is to be in a leadership position like a nursing director or even a CNO for a large organization like North York General Hospital. At this point in my career, I am really looking to transition into specialty care like your department to help fully round my nursing skills and expertise. With the year that I've spent in Emergency and Urgent Care settings, I'll bring great skills that I'll look to further develop over time. In wanting a future leadership position, what types of development opportunities does this organization have for future leaders?"
