28. Are you comfortable with administering an IV?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The interviewer wants to know more about your skills. As an MRI Technologist, you may be responsible for administering IVs for special dye tests. Don't oversell yourself when answering this question. If you genuinely are not comfortable starting IVs, then say so. However, include that you are working to overcome this challenge, as this could be a deal breaker for the interviewer if you cannot start IVs. Let the interviewer know that you use every opportunity to practice and shadow other MRI Technologists.
