3. Do you have any previous experience working with pediatric patients?
How to Answer
As a pediatric care facility, Rady Children's Hospital - San Diego values the expertise of those with pediatric experience. However, do not let a lack of pediatric experience be a deterrent to applying for employment here. Often times employers like to hire less experienced workers and train them. If you have pediatric experience, share it. If you do not, tell the interviewer why you are interested in this specialty area.
1st Answer Example
"I have worked with pediatric patients previously, but not in a specialty facility. I have always wanted to concentrate on pediatrics as a specialty which is why I chose to apply at Rady Children's Hospital - San Diego. I'd love to see what employment positions you have that would be a fit with my education and experience."
2nd Answer Example
"I worked in a pediatrician's office for two years and loved it. I have wanted to make a move in my career where I can learn more skills and have more hands-on experience but stay within the pediatric realm of care."
