The success of the healthcare industry thrives on the accuracy of information and organization. Talk to the interviewer about the ways that you ensure accuracy and organization in your daily activities. Perhaps you use a particular app or software. Maybe you are a pen and paper person. Whatever your method, highlight that you are successful in organizing your day and have a keen eye for detail.

"I am a highly detailed person, and I thrive on having a high level of organization in my day. If I am offered a position with Stanford Health Care-Stanford Hospital, you will never find me to be disorganized! This organization includes my scheduling, paperwork, and more. I utilize my Outlook calendar and set alerts for myself for deadlines and important activities. My documentation is strong as well."

"I'm a bit of a nerd. I carry around a notebook and write down important facts if I think there is a chance I will forget them. But this is usually just for transitions. Every clinic I've ever worked in has its way of communicating and recording facts, so I put time and attention into using the system the people around me are using. That way, it's easier to transition care, and the patient has all their information in the same place. My notebook saves me when I'm swamped, but I try to be efficient and put info directly into the patient's chart when I can."

If you have a past performance review or letter of recommendation highlighting these skills, be sure to have a copy to give your interviewer. When someone else commends your organizational skills and your accuracy in your documentation, it carries more weight with the interviewer than if you describe having those skills.

I utilize tools such as a notebook and apps on the phone. I keep my fingers' papers organized in a folder or a clipboard. I aim to stay highly organized.
