"Each day brings new adventures. Working alongside a paramedic, I help provide patients with life-saving care on-site and en route to the hospital. I support scenes of accidents or emergencies and carry out responsibilities like controlling severe bleeding, caring for patients with skeletal injuries, treating wounds and fractures, using a defibrillator to resuscitate patients with heart failure, and more. From an administrative perspective, I check the emergency vehicle at the start and end of every shift to ensure it is clean, has fuel, and is stocked with the necessary supplies. Throughout my shift, I complete paperwork and use communication equipment (radios and telephones) to work with my colleagues, manager, police officers, and hospital staff."

The interviewer would like to discover more about your day-to-day roles, responsibilities, structure, and pace. If you are coming from another healthcare organisation, it's likely similar to what would be required in the position with the NSH; however, it's important to describe in detail what your activities look like. Consider whether you spend time maintaining equipment or inventory, responding to motor vehicle accidents, caring for patients, communicating with patients family and friends, etc. Read the job description thoroughly, and discuss the areas of responsibility you have experience in and perform daily. Keep a positive tone as you describe what your current role entails each day, and refrain from complaining about certain duties or feeling overwhelmed by the day-to-day tasks.
