"One of my best skills as a CNA is my ability to listen. When working with my patients, there are times they want to tell me a story. I can tell that taking a few minutes out of my day to sit and listen to them means a lot to them. By simply taking the time to listen to them, they are often more inclined to open up about any issues they are experiencing regarding their health."

Before your interview with this organization as a Certified Nursing Assistant, take some time to research the job and the organization to answer this question effectively. You could think of how your co-workers would describe you and match the interpersonal skills they would say to the job you are interviewing for. Whichever skill you highlight, be confident and let the interviewer know that you are excited to bring your skill to the team you are interviewing with.

"Throughout my career, my patients and colleagues have always commended me on my friendly approach with patients, even on the worst of days. No matter what has happened in the moments or hours before an interaction with a patient, I wipe the slate clean and approach them with a smile on my face and love in my heart. If hired here, I would look forward to bringing this same approach to your patients."
