Krista Wenz has been on thousands of interview panels hiring EMS professionals and firefighters for public and private agencies.
The interviewers ask this question to determine if your strengths will complement and benefit the NHS if hired. Think of the personal strengths that make you excellent at your job. This can include skills or qualities that help you overcome difficult circumstances or accomplish challenging tasks. In a work context, your strengths will help you complete your to-do list, understand client needs, and apply what you have learned in your training. Talk to the interviewer about a couple of your strengths and why those will help you to be successful in this role.

"I am meticulous, efficient, and a strong communicator. I pride myself on not taking shortcuts and always producing quality results. I am honest and direct and know how to speak to people thoughtfully and respectfully. I take the initiative in projects and am very personable. I have copies of past performance reviews highlighting these strengths if you would like a copy for your records."

"I'm very team-oriented and love helping others succeed as much as I enjoy being successful myself. I know one of the NHS's core values is "working together for patients." When I read that, I really felt like I would align with the culture because I place such a high-value collaboration personally and professionally. Even if I'm not in a leadership role, I naturally gravitate toward the encouraging coach/mentor role. I'm also happy to support another team member so they can enjoy time off with their family or loved ones."
