How would you describe your problem-solving skills?
One of the soft skills required to be an excellent and effective radiographer is problem-solving. During a typical workday with the NHS, you may encounter challenges with patients, carers, colleagues, and imaging equipment. Or, you may be leading a team of radiographers and have a team member not show up for their scheduled shift. In these situations, you will rely on your problem-solving skills to determine the correct course of action to resolve the problem. The interviewers want to hear how you describe your problem-solving skills to see if you would be a good fit for the role if hired.
"I would describe my problem-solving skills as above average. I pride myself on remaining calm when faced with challenging situations. I typically have to solve problems quickly in the health and care profession. If a situation does not require a quick solution, I can take more time to determine what course of action to take. Either way, I generally analyze problems and develop solutions rather quickly."
