"When my supervisor, who is team lead for the anesthesiology assistants at the hospital that I work, is off or away on business, I am the one who is typically appointed to assume her supervisory responsibilities. While staff schedules are typically already set, I am responsible for making adjustments to the schedule when emergencies and other unforeseen circumstances arise. Also, it is my responsibility to organize the workload and assign each individual on the team to the cases that are scheduled. This experience has allowed me to become very comfortable with organizing staff and workload, and I feel comfortable that, if needed, I can continue to take on responsibilities at your organization."

The interviewer is asking this question to assess the candidate's potential for taking on a leadership position. If the candidate is an experienced anesthesiologist assistant and has the capacity for leadership, they may be expected to fill a leadership position at some point in the future. In a leadership position, the candidate would be responsible for leading and mentoring staff, dividing workload, and ensuring that all team members are contributing and following proper protocols. In order to successfully answer this question, the candidate should detail their comfort level and experience organizing staff and workload. A stronger answer to this question would include a specific example of how the candidate specifically organized staff or workload in their career as an anesthesiologist assistant.

"I am very comfortable with organizing staff and workload. While I am not currently in a management position, I have had previous positions where I was lead anesthesiologist assistant, and it was my responsibility to manage and schedule staff, organize workload and ensure everyone was following protocols. Even though I do not currently work in such a position, I enjoy this type of work, and if the opportunity arises for me to take on such a role for your organization, I would be happy to take on the challenge."
