It is common for interviewers to ask why you pursued your chosen career. They want to get to know your personality, gain insight into your hard and soft skills, and see what motivated you to become an administrator. You may have chosen to become an administrator because you are organized, meticulous, and have strong leadership skills. Or, perhaps you had a mentor who recommended this profession to you. Whatever your reason, the interviewers want to see that you are enthusiastic in your response and that you are obviously passionate about your work.

"I chose a career as an administrator after I started working for my father as his administrative assistant when I was 17. I liked using my organizational, communication, and office management skills and found I was very good at my job. After working for my father for one year, he recommended I take a leadership course and obtain a degree in Healthcare Administration. He saw that I had leadership skills and felt my skills would be better utilized as an administrator rather than an assistant. I took his advice and am very happy I did. I love leading teams and being a positive role model for others, and I look forward to bringing my skills to the NHS."
