Do you have any experience working in this field?

"Yes, I have been in the healthcare industry for 16 years. I started as a volunteer patient companion, visiting patients and assisting hospital personnel with whatever they needed. After completing secondary school, I received my Adult Nursing degree and have worked as a nurse for 12 years at small and large hospitals. My speciality is working in the emergency department, but I have also worked in the ICU and internal medicine."

"Although I have never worked in healthcare, I am a quick learner and have many transferrable skills that would allow me to make the transition easily. For example, I'm well versed in health and safety precautions and prevention, I have excellent communications skills with a focus area in customer service, I have experience building relationships with internal team members and external customers, and I have strong planning and organizational skills."
