20. Have you been trained on any specific imaging equipment? If so, which ones?
Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
There are many different types and brands of imaging equipment out there. While all very similar, some equipment may have a higher learning curve than others. The interviewer would like to know more about the specific imaging equipment you are experienced with to determine if you will need additional training if hired. Be specific and include your years of experience along with your skill level. Using words like beginner, intermediate, advanced, and expert can help the interviewer to understand your skill level further. You can then ask what types of machines are used in their facility. Be sure to mention how you are a quick learner if you require training on their machines.
