Have you ever considered continuing your nutrition education in a particular specialty?

"I have taken additional coursework in pediatric nutrition and have spent a great deal of time volunteering at our school's kitchens and the children's hospital. A specialty in pediatric nutrition is where I have set my sights."

There are so many roads you can go down as a dietitian and nutritionist. Have you had the opportunity to work within gerontological nutrition, sports dietetics, pediatric nutrition, renal nutrition or oncology nutrition? Which interests you the most? If you hold a certification in one of these specialties, tell the interviewer all about it. If you've always wanted to work in a specific specialty, let the interviewer know that you're anxious to start and excited to learn more.

"I have considered specializing in sports nutrition but have not taken any continued education towards this goal. Do you offer tuition reimbursement for additional coursework for your employees?"
