QUESTION 27 OF 30

What are the top three skills needed to be an excellent administrator?

The NHS Health Careers page on their website describes the skills and qualification requirements for administrative positions vary according to the type of post. However, they do list general skills needed for all posts, with the top five as follows:

- Excellent organizational skills
- Good communication skills
- Leadership skills
- Ability to work strict deadlines
- A willingness to work with others and respect their views

There is an extensive list of desirable skills and qualities they seek in their candidates. If you review the website before your interview, you can choose the top three skills you believe are needed to be an excellent administrator. After describing the top three skills you chose, describe how those skills help you succeed at your job.

"I believe the top three skills needed to be an excellent administrator are leadership, communication, and organizational skills. You cannot be effective in an administrative position without having all three of these skills. Administrators must lead their teams and be positive role models for team members, accomplished with effective communication. Administrators must also be highly organized and able to prioritize and handle many tasks simultaneously. I possess these skills and feel they make me an effective leader and administrator, and I look forward to bringing these skills to this administrative role with the NHS."
