      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      Working as an MRI Technologist can present several challenges during your daily routine. One of the most significant difficulties is handling patients who are claustrophobic or have anxiety disorders. These individuals may experience extreme discomfort or panic attacks during an MRI scan, which can be challenging. Additionally, the job requires extended periods of standing, which can be physically demanding and exhausting. Furthermore, operating the intricate equipment used during MRI scans requires specialized training, which can be time-consuming to learn. Other challenges can be operational or administrative, such as having outdated equipment, management not supporting you and your colleagues, or being on call.

      The interviewer wants to know your biggest challenge as an MRI Technologist. There may be many complex parts of this job, but choose one focus so that you don't go off on a tangent about all the things you dislike. If possible, have one strong example and also show how you have overcome the difficulty of this task. However, be sure you do not speak poorly of anyone, including patients, colleagues, and management.
