Most dementia care specialists find more pros than cons to working in their field. However, there are some, such as long hours, being on call, rules and regulations, dealing with rude family members, or losing a patient to their disease. The interviewers want to hear what you like the least about your job to learn more about your personality. Be sure to briefly say what you like least, then end on a positive note by explaining how the other aspects of being a dementia care specialist outweigh the bad.

"My least favorite part of my job is when I find out one of my patients has passed away. I always develop a certain bond with my patients and their family members, and it is always sad when they die. Going into this line of work, I knew that I would face this and that it is part of life, but it still does not make it any less difficult. I cope with this by remembering the good parts of my patient's life and feeling privileged to have been a part of it."
