In most cases, more than one candidate is interviewed for a position before an offer of employment is made. This is your chance to tell the interviewer what makes you a better choice. However, remember that being confident and being conceited have a fine line of separation. Highlight your strengths, but remember to be humble.

I can see myself doing this career for a very long time, and I believe that I am very passionate about this career. I am very eager to learn more each day when it comes to learning how to operate machinery and perform certain tests. I work hard every day to try and be the best at what I do. I know that MLTs are not recognized for their work sometimes, but it is not about people recognizing my work. It is about my work being able to help patients' treatments.
