15. Do you plan on retiring as an MRI Techologist?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
The interviewer asks this question to understand your level of commitment to the field and whether you have a long-term career plan. It's important to assure them that you are passionate about your work as an MRI Technologist and plan to continue in this field for many years. Retirement may not be on your mind at this point in your career, but it's always good to have a plan for the future. If you plan on working as an MRI Tech until you retire, let the interviewer know you intend to remain in your current job. If you have long-term plans to pursue another career, be honest and upfront with the interviewer.

Experienced Example
"Yes, I have about another 15 years until retirement and hope to finish my career as a Senior MRI Technologist at your hospital. At one point in my career, I considered pursuing my nursing degree. After shadowing an RN for a few days, I decided I was happy working as a technologist and never considered that again."
