With the continually changing nature of a hospital's operations and a diverse patient base, staff members at Saint Vincent Hospital need to be very pliable in their work. Being flexible and able to handle change is a skill that your interviewer will be looking for in their top candidate, so they are looking to hear about a time when you were open to new ways of thinking or doing in your work.

"When our facility came under new management last year, many new methods and policies came into place. I was able to learn some exciting new approaches to our challenges in patient care and customer management. I quite enjoyed the process. Having an open mind and willingness to change was three-quarters of the battle."

"They say people in healthcare are 'lifelong learners.' I'm now old enough to realize that it's difficult to always adapt. I think my 45-year-old aunt telling me how to use my iPhone helped me appreciate that it's all about humility. It's not about who is teaching you, but if you are willing to learn. In the medical context, I just took an updated CPR course, and it went from the 2:15 compressions to continuous compressions, and I had to adapt to overcome my former way of thinking."

Prior to your interview with Saint Vincent Hospital, think back to a time when you had to be open-minded in approaching your work differently due to circumstances out of your control. As you discuss this time, make sure to spend more time highlighting the resolution rather than the challenge you faced. Discuss how you will come to this role with the ability to approach a problem using new methods.
