How would you describe your communication skills?

"I would describe my communication skills as top-notch. I took a leadership class in college, which greatly improved my verbal communication skills. I also took a documentation course in nursing school, which taught me how to precisely document my patient findings and the treatments given. I pride myself on my communication skills and look forward to bringing these skills to your organization."

The interviewer asks this question to see that you have the solid verbal and written communication skills required for healthcare positions. Your job duties will include speaking with patients, family members, coworkers, and other allied healthcare professionals. You may also be in charge of mentoring new hires and must have excellent documentation skills. The interviewer wants to hear that you have the necessary communication skills for the role.

Focus on describing your written and verbal communication skills. If you have a former supervisor who commented on your excellent communication skills in a letter of recommendation or performance review, use their description in your response. The interviewer wants to know that you can speak clearly with others while properly documenting reports and other forms of written communications.

Tell me about a time when you went above and beyond for a patient or their family member.

"Recently, I had a patient who had their service dog into the hospital with them as they were dying. There was not enough time to get the patient to hospice, so the charge nurse said we should make the patient as comfortable as possible in his room. The patient had no family or friends that would visit, and we had become friends in the two weeks he was in the ICU. As the patient was dying, he asked if I would look after his dog Charlie when he passed. I told him I would and kept my word. I was not allowed to have pets where I lived and found a house with a backyard so I could keep Charlie."

The interviewer asks this question to see how dedicated you are to your profession, patients, and family members. The interviewer wants to hire a healthcare professional that will go above and beyond to help their patients and their loved ones and not only do the bare minimum. When you describe how you offer exceptional service to your patients, the interviewer will see that you are someone they want to have on their team and represent Trinity Health.

Focus on describing a situation that shows you went above and beyond your everyday job responsibilities to help a patient or their family members. You may have stayed after your shift ended to comfort a grieving family member or found a way to bring a patient's pet in to visit them. Whatever you describe, make sure it is not something that is breaking hospital rules.

Tell me about an organization or group you have contributed to outside of work.

"I started volunteering when I was 16 years old as a candy striper at Cottage Hospital in Southern California. After graduating high school, the candy striper program was dissolved, so I started volunteering with the Special Olympics as a coach. I still volunteer as a coach and work once a week at a local assisted living facility reading stories to the residents."

Many hiring managers will choose one candidate over another because of their volunteer experience. They feel that it shows strong character and selflessness - all qualities that make a great employee. Talk to the interviewer about your willingness to give back to your community in some form of volunteerism. If you do not have formal volunteer experience, you can draw on things you do in your spare time to assist friends, family, neighbors, or even your current employer.

The interviewer wants to hear about contributions you have made to the community in any form. If you have volunteered specifically in a manner related to your role as a healthcare professional, focus on describing the projects you have contributed to. If your volunteer experience does not include work-related contributions, that is fine.

The Trinity Health family is very tight knit. How will you earn the trust of your coworkers?

"I understand it takes time to build trust with a tight-knit team. I feel that the best way to earn the trust of my coworkers is to be helpful, always do what I promise, and be honest with them at all times. Strong relationships have to be built on these principles."

It is essential to nurture workplace relationships amongst your coworkers. Talk to the interviewer about how you plan to earn the trust of your new coworkers should you be offered the position. The interviewer would like to know how you can win your new coworkers over to determine if you will be a good fit for the team.

Focus on giving examples from your past. Describe how you earned the trust of your coworkers by getting to know them and their families, keeping your word when you say you are going to do something, lending a hand when others need help, or covering a coworker's shift when they have a family emergency.

This concludes our interview. Do you have any questions for me?

"Thank you for asking - I do have a few questions. What is top of mind when it comes to filling this role? Also, what types of career growth opportunities are available with this position? And lastly, do you have internal candidates who are also interviewing for this position?"

The interviewer wants to ensure that all of your questions about Trinity Health or the job role are answered during the interview. It is best to ask at least a question or two, showing the interviewer your eagerness to learn all you can. Of course, you want to review the job announcement and research Trinity Health beforehand so you are not asking questions that could be found during your research.

Focus on asking questions specific to the role you are interviewing for or the company culture and work environment. Examples of good questions are asking the interviewer how you performed in the interview or if you need to clarify anything, asking what the interviewer likes most about working for the company, or if they have any hesitancy about hiring you.

Who is the CEO of Trinity Health?

"The President and CEO of Trinity Health is Michael Slubowski. Mr. Slubowski has worked as a healthcare executive for 40 years and has held many President and CEO positions with many other healthcare providers."

Before any job interview, you must research the company you are interviewing with. You want to learn all you can to answer any questions the interviewer will have. Review the company website, online employee reviews, the job description, and visit the company and talk to staff. The interviewer wants to hear that you have done your homework and know the CEO of Trinity Health.

Show the interviewer you have done in-depth research on their company. Focus your answer on naming the CEO of Trinity Health and a little history about them. You can mention when they were appointed CEO, who they worked for before Trinity Health, and any achievements they have made since becoming CEO.

Trinity Health prides itself on offering inclusive, non-discriminatory care. Do you agree with our approach?

"Yes, I agree 100% with your approach. I do not believe there should be any discrimination in healthcare or anywhere else, regardless of one's beliefs or cultural differences. That is one of the reasons I want to work for Trinity Health, as your values align with mine."

The interviewer asks this question to ensure that you understand Trinity Health's approach to care. They want to ensure that you agree with their vision and that your beliefs align with the company. If you disagree that everyone should be included and not discriminated against, the interviewer will determine you may not be a good fit for the team.

Focus on ensuring the interviewer that you accept all cultures and beliefs, even if they may not align with yours. The interviewer wants to hire a healthcare professional who is open-minded and inclusive of all.

What are your professional goals for the next five years?

"I am interested in receiving my Master's Degree in Healthcare Management and am researching online programs to see what best suits my needs while working full-time. In the next five years, I will have obtained my degree and see myself advancing to a higher level administrative position within your company."

The interviewer asks this question for two reasons. They want to see if you have professional goals and a plan to achieve them. When you set goals to improve and grow professionally, it shows that you are motivated and dedicated to your profession. The interviewer also wants to see if your plans include working for Trinity Health. Companies invest a lot of money and time hiring and training employees, and the interviewer wants to know that you will be a long-term employee if hired.

Focus on describing exactly what professional goals you have planned for the next five years and how you will achieve them. If you are new to the industry, you might want to concentrate on gaining experience and take continuing education courses. If you have been working as a healthcare professional for some time, you may plan on pursuing higher education or an administrative role. Be sure to highlight that you see yourself with Trinity Health in the next five years.

How do you handle a dispute with a coworker or supervisor?

"Over the years, I have found the involved parties can fix all conflicts with honest, open communication. When both parties can explain why they are bothered by something and decide how to approach the situation maturely, less conflict will happen in the future. Most conflicts are simply a misunderstanding or lack of communication."

It is not uncommon for coworkers or supervisors to disagree with someone they work with. The interviewer knows this and wants to see how you have handled conflict in the past. How you respond gives the interviewer insight into your problem-solving, communication, and conflict resolution skills, which are essential to possess in any profession.

Focus on giving a detailed explanation of how you handled a past disagreement with a supervisor or coworker. You do not necessarily need to describe the reason for the dispute, just how you dealt with it. The interviewer wants to hear that you dealt with the conflict privately, calmly, and professionally and that there was a resolution.

What is your greatest weakness, and what are you doing to improve?

"My greatest weakness is my lack of experience as a healthcare professional. I am improving this weakness by applying for this position. I just graduated college and received my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing and only have experience from my practicals. My goal is to get chosen for the position to start gaining hands-on experience. I am a quick learner, and you will not be disappointed in my performance if hired for the position."

The interviewer wants to hear about your greatest weakness as a healthcare professional to see that you are self-aware and can identify an area that needs improvement. When you admit you have a deficiency in a particular aspect of your profession and take steps to improve, it shows the interviewer that you are motivated and inspired to grow professionally.

Focus on a weakness related to your profession, but not one that is an essential job duty. For example, suppose you say your weakness is your documentation skills. In that case, the interviewer may pass you over for another candidate since that skill is an essential part of being an excellent healthcare professional.

Do you speak any foreign languages fluently?

"I am learning American Sign Language as my boyfriend is deaf. I have only been studying the language for one month, so I would not consider myself fluent yet. I speak conversational Spanish, but I would not consider myself fluent in that language, either. I took two years of Spanish in high school and have traveled three times to South America. I have always been able to understand the language and make myself understood, but I am interested in improving my skills."

The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have additional skills to benefit their company if hired. Trinity Health has many patients who speak foreign languages, and they want to see if you speak any fluently to better serve their clientele.

Focus on describing any foreign languages you speak fluently. If you are not fluent in any other language, tell the interviewer of any classes you have taken and how you would rate your skills. For example, if you had two years of Spanish in high school and can speak a little conversational Spanish, explain that in your response. Let the interviewer know you are open to taking foreign language classes to improve your skills if required for the position, showing your dedication to your profession.

Are you willing to work a flexible schedule?

"Yes, of course. I have worked in healthcare for the past eight years and understand the nature of the job. My family is supportive of my schedule no matter how irregular it might be."

The interviewer asks this question to see if you are a team player and willing to work a flexible schedule. Working as a healthcare professional requires working long shifts, weekends, and holidays. Assure the interviewer that you understand the nature of the industry and are willing to work whatever schedule you are assigned.

Focus on letting the interviewer know that you understand the requirement and are willing to work whatever schedule is needed for the role. The interviewer wants to hire an employee who accommodates the company's needs, showing you are a team player.

After reading the job description, what do you like most about this position?

"There are many aspects of the job description that are appealing. What I like most about this position is being a patient advocate for vulnerable patients. I enjoy educating my patients on the available services and finding them the best resources to improve their quality of life."

The interviewer asks this question to see that you have read the job description in its entirety and determine what aspect of the role you like the most. Most healthcare job descriptions have many job duties you will be asked to perform. The interviewer wants to know what you like the most to see where your strengths lie.

Focus on describing what you like most about the job and provide your reason why. For example, you might like that you will be responsible for being a patient advocate and helping them receive the best care possible. Tell the interviewer why this particular job duty excites you.

What do you like most about working as a healthcare professional?

"What I like most about my job is helping patients understand their medical condition and developing treatment plans to improve their condition. It brings me great joy to see my patients' health improve and see them enjoy their lives to the fullest."

The interviewer asks this question to see what aspect of your job you enjoy the most. When you respond, the interviewer can gain insight into what drives and motivates you in your profession and determine if your passion aligns with the company's mission and culture.

Focus your answer on showing the interviewer you genuinely care about helping your patients and their family members. Since patient care is the backbone of your profession, it makes sense to describe that as what you like most about your job.

Why did you leave your last job?

"I really enjoyed my last job, but I gave my two weeks' notice and left on good terms last month. I left because I had a two-hour commute every day, and it was starting to impact my family. When I started my previous job, my commute was 15 minutes. However, my mother became ill, and we moved here to be closer to her. That is one of the reasons I am applying for this position, as your hospital is only five minutes from my home."

The interviewer wants to know why you left your last job to see if you were fired, gave notice, or were laid off. If you were fired, they want to know if you will admit why you were fired, if you take responsibility, and what you learned from the experience. If you gave notice, they want to understand what you did not like about your job to see if you would fit in with the company culture.

Focus on being direct and honest, and explain why you left your last place of employment. If you gave notice, were laid off, or fired, describe the circumstances behind your leaving. Be sure to end your response on a positive note and tell the interviewer how you are excited to have the opportunity to interview for the position with their company.

Why do you want to work for Trinity Health?

"I want to work for Trinity Health because your vision and values align with mine. I want to work for a company whose vision is to be the national leader in improving the health of communities and each person you serve. I could not agree more! I also want to prepare for a leadership position and am excited you offer and encourage professional growth to everyone you employ."

The interviewer wants to hear that you have researched Trinity Health before your interview. When responding to this question, highlight unique aspects of their company that stand out from others. You may want to work for their company because of their stellar reputation, their opportunity for professional growth and advancement, or because of their high number of patients.

Instead of giving a generic answer to this question, focus on showing the interviewer that you have thoroughly researched their company. For example, if you say that you want to work for Trinity Health because they offer professional growth, that could apply to many other organizations. Instead, say that you want to work for their company because they are one of the best-known names in healthcare, and they have a reputation for providing the most comprehensive employee growth program in the industry.

Name three of your greatest strengths related to your profession.

"My greatest strengths as a healthcare professional are my compassionate nature, communication, and interpersonal skills. I am empathetic and compassionate to all of my patients and family members and have excellent verbal and written communication skills. I can explain complex medical terms in easy-to-understand language since not everyone understands medical terminology. I have led many diverse groups at work and in a volunteer capacity, and I have exceptional listening skills. I have over six years of experience using these skills in my profession."

The interviewer wants to hear about three of your greatest strengths as a healthcare professional to determine if you have the qualities they are looking for. Before your interview, review the job description and look for keywords Trinity Health used to describe its ideal candidate. Then, choose three of those keywords you have identified as your greatest strengths, showing the interviewer that you have the characteristics they are looking for in their ideal candidate.

Suppose the job description says Trinity Health seeks an experienced, compassionate healthcare professional with strong communication and interpersonal skills to work in a leadership position. In that case, describe your greatest strengths as either your experience, compassion, communication, interpersonal, or leadership skills. Focus on using three keywords from the job description so the interviewer can see that you have the qualities they are looking for in their ideal candidate.

Tell me about your education.

"I am a Registered Nurse and obtained my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing five years ago from Duke University. I have been working as a nurse for the past five years and complete the required continuing education hours needed each year. I am looking into Master's programs right now as I would like to continue my education and seek an administrative position in the next few years."

The interviewer asks this question to determine if you have the education needed to perform the job you have applied for. They want to hear if you have a degree, certificates, or specialized training that qualifies you to work in this field.

Focus on describing your education as it relates to the position. You do not need to start with receiving your high school diploma or GED. Start with post-secondary training and beyond. If you do not have post-secondary training and the position calls for only a high school diploma or GED, then indeed mention that you are qualified for the position and describe if you have your diploma or GED. However, most healthcare jobs require a minimum of an associate's degree or specialized training and certification to apply for the position.

What is your experience working in healthcare?

"I have been involved with the healthcare industry for 16 years. I started as a volunteer candy striper and would visit patients and assist hospital personnel with whatever they needed. After graduating high school, I received my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing and have worked as a nurse for 12 years at small and large hospitals alike. My specialty is working in the emergency department, but I have also worked in the ICU and Labor and Delivery."

The job announcement should say how many years of experience Trinity Health requires. The interviewer wants to hear about your experience to ensure you are qualified for the position. Give examples of how many years of experience you have and who you have worked with previously, including volunteer and paid experience.

Focus on highlighting the number of years of experience you have and in what role. Describe your job duties, showcasing your experience level. If you are new to the industry, let the interviewer know that although you are new, you are excited to learn all you can about the healthcare industry.

What do you like to do in your free time?

"In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities that keep me in shape. My favorite activities are surfing, trail running, and kayaking. I also enjoy volunteer work at my church, gardening, and baking."

The interviewer asks this question to see what interests you and if you have healthy avenues to decompress. They want to hear what hobbies and activities you enjoy and know that you spend time away from work destressing from the pressures of the job.

Focus on describing three or four activities you enjoy. The interviewer wants to see what you are interested in and determine how well you will get along with other team members based on your interests.

Being a healthcare professional is a stressful career. How do you handle stress on the job?

"I understand this job is stressful, and I am prepared for that. If I feel overly stressed, I will discuss this with my supervisor. In addition, I eat a healthy, balanced diet, exercise, and spend time with my family on my days off. Taking care of myself mentally and physically prepares me to handle stressful situations with ease."

The interviewer asks this question to determine if you are someone who can handle stress on the job. Working as a healthcare professional can be stressful and fast-paced, and the interviewer wants to decide whether or not you will be a good fit for the team if hired. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to handle pressure in the workplace and techniques you use to minimize job stressors.

Focus on letting the interviewer know you understand how to decompress away from work, so you are ready to mentally handle the pressures of your job. When healthcare professionals understand the stress factor of their job and have healthy ways to relieve stress, they are less apt to burn out or become sick or injured from stress.

Do you consider yourself a patient person? How do you increase your patience level in challenging situations?

"Yes, I am a very patient person. I understand that situations are often out of people's control, so it does no good to be impatient and cause further stress to those around me. I am consistent with my patience level and do not need to increase my patience during challenging situations."

The interviewer would like to know if you consider yourself a patient individual as patience is required as a healthcare professional. Impatience can cause a lot of stress and anxiety in patients and coworkers, so it is essential that you can showcase your ability to remain patient and professional in workplace situations. I

The interviewer wants to hire healthcare professionals who are patient and can remain calm in challenging situations. Focus on letting the interviewer know that you are patient and professional and can increase your patience level during difficult times.

Do you see yourself as a leader? When have you led a team?

"In my current department, I am the president of the community volunteer committee. I love that I have the opportunity to encourage employee engagement while being a positive influence on the workplace culture. I am a natural leader because I start by leading by example. As a leader, I make myself available to others who need mentorship, assistance in adjusting to their role, or a listening ear when they've had a tough day. I am confident in my leadership abilities."

Perhaps you have led a team at work, been a coach for a youth sports team, or were on the advisory board for a non-profit organization. You should always be prepared to show the interviewer that you have a natural ability to lead others. Whether you have led a group of 500 or a team of 2, you must display to the interviewer that you can handle the responsibility that comes with being a leader and mentor.

Talk about your desire to be a leader. Focus your answer on sharing with the interviewer that you strive to be a role model for others. Explain that you jump at the opportunity to lead groups, encourage your counterparts, and be the face of the organization when challenges arise.

Think about a difficult boss, professor, or coworker. What made them difficult? How did you successfully interact with this person?

"I once worked at a small medical facility where the primary physician was very demanding. When he would walk into the facility, employees would quietly announce that he was in the building so that everyone could be prepared for his arrival. This physician had great intentions; however, his people skills were a little rough. I could see that he meant well, and I recognized that he wanted to do many good things. When we interacted, I always took his feedback with the understanding that he didn't mean things as harshly as he might say them."

Show the interviewer that you work well with most personalities even though you recognize some folks out there are pretty difficult to please. The interviewer wants to hear that you are easy to get along with and possess patience and conflict-resolution skills.

Think about that one person at work who is seen as hard to please. Perhaps there is someone at work who tries to intimidate others. Talk to the interviewer about what made this person challenging and their relationship with you. Avoid speaking poorly of anyone, and focus on ending your response on a positive note.

Tell me about yourself.

"I am an avid triathlete and have traveled to eight countries to compete in various races in the last eight years. I am a competitive individual and enjoy keeping fit. As a new healthcare professional, my biggest goal is to get hired by your organization to gain experience and take as many healthcare-related courses and workshops as possible. I am eager to get a great start on my career with Trinity Health."

The interviewer will generally ask this question at the beginning of an interview to break the ice and learn a bit about your personality and communication skills. Take a few minutes to tell the interviewer a few things about yourself. You can begin with your recent education, family life, volunteer work, or talk about your travels. Bring up anything that is interesting and highlights your ability to be a responsible, reliable, and bright individual.

Focus on having a prepared answer for this question. It is easy to ramble on about yourself, but you want to have a concise, well-formulated response.

We conduct early-stage criminal background checks and drug tests on all of our candidates. Is there anything you would like to disclose at this time?

"I am happy to comply with any background check required. My record is clean, and I do not participate in drug use. You can be assured that if you hire me for this role, I will maintain a clean record."

Working in the healthcare industry means that you are in contact with vulnerable people, children, pharmaceutical drugs, drug-related equipment, confidential information, and other areas of sensitivity. If you have a criminal record, you must disclose this. Assure the interviewer that you are able and willing to pass a complete background check. If you have a criminal record, you can say something like: 'I have a misdemeanor on my record from 15 years ago. I am happy to continue the interview process and comply with your background checks if you allow for some exceptions.'

As with any interview question, you want to focus on being completely honest in your response. As embarrassing as it may be, if you do not think you will pass the drug test or have a criminal background, you need to let the interviewer know that now. If passing the drug test will not be an issue and you do not have a criminal history, assure the interviewer that you will have no problem passing both tests.

What is the mission of Trinity Health?

"Trinity Health's mission is, 'We, Trinity Health, serve together in the spirit of the Gospel as a compassionate and transforming healing presence within our communities.' I love that you have the words compassionate and healing presence in your mission statement. I think it beautifully describes your mission."

The interviewer asks this question to see if you have done your research on Trinity Health before your interview. You should be prepared to answer any questions the hiring manager will have, such as the company's mission statement, its core values, the population they serve, the CEO of the company, and the year they were founded. It is always recommended to do your homework before any interview and learn all you can about the company.

Trinity Health's mission is, 'We, Trinity Health, serve together in the spirit of the Gospel as a compassionate and transforming healing presence within our communities.' Focus on memorizing the mission so you can respond to this question with ease.

Would you describe yourself as a compassionate person?

"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."

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.

There are many qualified candidates applying to this position. What makes you the best candidate for this role?

"I am the best candidate for the position because I meet and exceed your job qualifications. I have over seven years of experience working as a healthcare professional with diverse groups and cultures. I am empathetic, compassionate, level-headed, and work well under pressure. I have exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, and I look forward to bringing my skills and experience to your wonderful organization."

The interviewer asks this question to hear what qualities you will bring to Trinity Health and how you will benefit them if hired. Now is your chance to highlight your best characteristics and experience, showing the interviewer you have all the qualifications they require.

Review the job announcement before your interview and highlight the qualities, experience, and education Trinity Health seeks in an employee. Then, focus on using those keywords in your response. When describing how you meet their job requirements, the interviewer will see that you are a highly qualified candidate and place you high on the candidate list.

Why did you pursue a career in the healthcare industry?

"I chose to pursue a career in nursing because my mom and aunt are both nurses. I love caring for others and helping make them comfortable when going through a difficult time in their lives. I grew up hearing the stories of the people my family members had helped and even those they could not. Still, I could tell that they truly enjoyed their jobs, and I think it's in my blood. I cannot imagine choosing another career path."

The interviewer wants to hear your reasons for choosing this profession to understand what motivates you in your career. They want to hear if another healthcare professional mentored you, have family or friends who work in healthcare, worked in another industry and decided to change careers, or had a loved one who received excellent care from a healthcare professional.

Focus on giving your personal reason for choosing this career, responding with enthusiasm and passion. There is no right or wrong answer.
