This is a personal question, so be sure to give a genuine answer about what brings you joy at work. The interviewer wants to get a sense of what you enjoy most about being an occupational therapist. Perhaps it's helping patients gain the independence to live at home again, or helping patients find ways to return to work with modifications. Whatever it is, share this personal detail with the interviewer.

"I believe that I will feel a great deal of job satisfaction when I'm able to build meaningful relationships with patients and their caregivers. Knowing that they trust my treatment plan and feel confident in my abilities to help them regain independence and complete activities of daily living themselves will be very rewarding."

"During my fifteen years as an occupational therapist, I've invested in specialized training to include aquatic exercise, gerontology, and feeding, swallowing and eating specialty programs. Being able to use these additional areas of training has helped me make a significant impact on the lives of older adult patients that I serve in the community. I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I'm able to use techniques and strategies in care plans that help patients be able to gain mobility and independence."
