What duties of this role do you feel that you would need the most training in from the start?

Certified Nursing Assistant job duties can vary greatly from job to job and even industry to industry. From your perspective, it is vitally important to be cognizant of the differences in the role that you are interviewing for compared to other jobs that you have held during your career. To do this, you should thoroughly research the job you are interviewing for and the organization you are interviewing with. Your interviewer does not expect to hire a person that is an expert in all aspects of the job, so it is okay to talk openly and honestly about an area of this role where you feel you will need to focus your efforts in training and orienting if offered the job. Just be sure that you talk confidently about your ability to learn and grow as their next CNA.

"As I entered the CNA field four years ago, my dream has been to work in an intensive care unit, and I was very excited about this opportunity when I applied. Because all of my experience has been in a skilled nursing facility, I know that I would need to learn a lot about the personalized care that ICU patients need. I foresee myself needing to become skilled in turning patients covered in tubes and hooked up to a vent and other lines. If hired at your organization, learning the nuances of providing direct care to patients would be my priority."
