The hiring manager wants to see if you consider yourself a compassionate person since Trinity Health values helping others improve their health and well-being and care deeply about those they serve. Trinity Health wants to hire like-minded individuals, so the hiring manager will ask you if you are compassionate to determine if you will be a good fit for the team.

Focus on ensuring the hiring manager understands you are a compassionate person. You can say you are a compassionate person, but giving an example where you have helped others is a better way to let the hiring manager know. For example, you can describe your volunteer experience, how you took care of an elderly relative, held the hand of dying patients, or comforted a grieving family member. Give your personal example that shows you have compassion for others.

"Yes, I am a very compassionate person and have been my entire life. I was always the one to bring home stray animals and give my lunch to others who were less fortunate than me. I believe you need to be compassionate and empathetic to work in this field and feel honored to have the opportunity to provide compassion to my patients and their family members."
