2. At Company ABC we value education and are supportive of employees who seek higher education or certifications in their specialty areas. Have you ever thought about continuing your education?
How to Answer
While wanting to continue your education is not a requirement for employment at Company ABC, interviewers often ask this question. Having a desire to continue your education in the healthcare tells the interviewer that you have long-term plans in the industry. Whether you plan on returning to school or not, share your thoughts on what you may choose if you ever change your mind.
1st Answer Example
"I initially completed my Associate's degree and planned to go back to school later. I want and need to work, but would love the opportunity to work toward my Bachelor's degree without having to sacrifice my job."
2nd Answer Example
"I loved nursing school and completed my practical nursing degree. While I realize there are several opportunities for nurses with higher degrees, at this point in my life, I feel content with where I am professionally. It is nice to know that I could explore the option of continuing my education and continue working later on, if my goals change."
