QUESTION 13 OF 34

If you could have changed anything about your last inspection position, what would that have been?

To answer this question, avoid using examples like you wish the pay was higher or you disagreed with your supervisor. Some examples could be that the commute was too long, the department was small and you wanted to work for a larger department, or there were staffing issues. Try to keep a positive note when answering this question.

"I really enjoyed my last inspector position, but if I could change anything, it would have been to have more inspectors to share the workload. The department I worked for had a small budget and could not afford more inspectors. This created a challenge, as we were backlogged for months trying to keep up with inspections. I felt being understaffed was detrimental to the safety of the community."
