Question 20 of 30

How has your job change over the years you worked there?

Adapt and overcome...this is your new motto! You could use this moment to discuss the changes between the ICD-9 and ICD-10. How has your staff turnover been? Were you given more responsibility? Did you take opportunities to train others once you had the experience and knowledge about your role? This question gives you an opportunity to go more in depth about how your role has evolved. If nothing has changed much over the past couple of years in your position, focus on what you have learned. Talk about how the changes in your job have taught you new skills and helped you develop the ones you already have.

      "I have adapted and overcome changes, and I have faced some challenges, like the change from icd9 to icd10. I have learned new specialties. I have cross-trained the Coding dept, I have been able to share my knowledge with others for the coders to be able to cover each other when we are out, and reassign the specialties according to departmental needs."
