The pediatric cancer and hematology center at Texas Children's Hospital treats children from more than 35 states and 26 countries. This specialty area is not for the faint of heart, though. If you are interested in this area, share that interest. On the other hand, if this is not an area you think you would like to work in, this is the time to tell the interviewer. Honesty about what you want to do helps an interviewer decide what job openings will be the best fit for your skill and goals.

"I knew that Texas Children's Hospital had a large service population for the cancer and hematology center, but I did not realize just how large it is. The number of cancer cases in the United States alone is profound, but I am shocked at how many children are affected. I worked in an adult oncology center for a while and enjoyed what I did. I think a transition to pediatric care would be something I would like to hear more about."

"When I was 21, my dad passed away from lung cancer. It was one of the most trying times of my life. Although I have always wanted a career in healthcare, oncology is not something I have wanted to do, not yet anyway. I would be open to volunteering with patients in that area who need a companion to visit with them. However, I don't know if working with cancer victims daily is something I am quite ready for."
