Ryan Brunner has over ten years of experience recruiting, interviewing, and hiring candidates in the healthcare, public service, and private manufacturing/distribution industries.
"As I'm nearing the end of my Master's program, I'm taking a focused approach to find the right employer and have applied to two positions that can give me the best opportunity that I'm looking for. This position is much more appealing to me because it allows me to serve the area that I grew up in and remain close to my family."

"No, I wasn't actively looking for a new job when I came across this job opening. It was referred to me by a current therapist here. They knew that I had a high interest of focusing solely on the geriatric population and this position seemed like a great fit for me."

This question might be asked to see if you are floating your resume or serious about finding employment. Simply share if you have any other OT interviews with a simple yes or no. Be sure to mention that you are most interested in this role, and provide one solid reason for why it intrigues you the most. Honesty in this answer is always the best policy for two reasons: 1) Many professionals in the industry are connected and 2) A truthful answer may lead to a quicker response time for an offer following the interview.
