"Clear communication is an incredibly important factor to workplace success, and I try to improve my communication skills at every opportunity. Last year, a co-worker and I were collaborating to take care of a patient. When it was time to insert the catheter I could tell that my co-worker was fumbling and uncomfortable with the procedure. I offered my assistance and talked to her afterward. Come to find out; the patient was a former schoolmate of hers. She thanked me for my assistance in the situation. I asked her to communicate any uncomfortable situations to me right away, promising to take care of the situation to the best of my ability."

As a cardiovascular technologist, you know that effective communication is the key to successful patient examinations, diagnosis, and overall hospital and clinic efficiency. Describe a time that you were able to bring your team together through effective communication. Perhaps you clarified physician instructions to avoid a mishap, or maybe you got off on the wrong foot with a coworker and carefully worked to repair the relationship.

"A former co-worker and I had a strain in our working relationship, and I wasn't sure from what it had stemmed. I invited her to lunch away from the office for a chance to talk and just get away for a bit. I asked her if I had done anything to offend her, which thankfully I had not. It turns out she was feeling overwhelmed in our office environment. I took the time to clarify a few procedures and the 'isms' of the physicians we worked alongside. After a great lunch and open talk we were able to be more productive together, working as a united front."
